Embedding equity in research integrity

UK Research Integrity Office

This is the latest in the series of regular free webinars from the <a href="https://ukrio.org/" title="https://ukrio.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">UK Research Integrity Office </a>on research integrity and related issues.This webinar will explore strategies to advancing EDI in – and through – research, and the impact that equitable and inclusive research funding, practice, and design have on research integrity, quality, and outcomes. This includes how we ensure our research community and culture is equitable and inclusive, as well as how we embed EDI considerations in research questions, methodology, and analytical approach. Speakers: Dr Chris Newby, Research Support Service, Leicester and Partners Hub and Dr Rebecca Barnes, NIHR Research Support Service Hub, University of Leicester and partners Designing and conducting inclusive research: This presentation will outline why it is important to conduct inclusive research that is able to benefit everyone, particularly those who have historically been under-served by, and excluded from, research. We will demonstrate how inclusion can be embedded at each stage of the research life-cycle, from conception through to dissemination, implementation and impact What you will learn:<ul><li>Why research needs to be designed and conducted inclusively, and the implications of failing to do so</li><li>Key steps that researchers can take to embed inclusion in the design and conduct of their research</li><li>Signposting to resources that support researchers to design and conduct inclusive research Speaker: Dr Maisha Islam, University of Southampton What makes an equitable research culture? Centring an ethics of care for our postgraduate researchers: As the UK HE sector turns closer attention towards issues related to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in research culture/environments, how can this be meaningfully applied to debates around research integrity? If we accept that positive research cultures lead to innovative, collaborative, and excellent research, then considerations around equity and inclusivity must play a significant role in producing trust and confidence in how research is conducted. In this session, Maisha explores how we can build a research culture that is equitable and inclusive of the diversity, namely in the context of postgraduate research (PGR) and doctoral students. In doing so, she will provide practice from the University of Southampton’s Doctoral College which seeks to address inequities at the PGR level, and emphasise the importance of using social justice and liberatory methodologies to inform such practice. What you will learn:</li></ul><ul><li>Systemic inequalities manifesting at the postgraduate research (PGR) level.</li><li>EDI initiatives and practice from the University of Southampton’s Doctoral College to support PGR students and research culture (transferable to other university contexts).</li><li>The importance of social justice, liberatory and student engagement methodologies when undertaking equity-related work.
