The Impact of the of the Pandemic on the Researcher Experience.

January 14th and 22nd, 2021 at 11-14 Central European Time!

We hope to explore this topic together with you through the perspectives of how the pandemic has influenced and is influencing researcher activity, and what kind of affective impact it has had on researchers’ emotions, motives and interest, and wellbeing.

The pandemic has accelerated some features that we may have identified traces of for some time, such as digitalisation and uncertainties around working outside academia. We are interested in exploring the pandemic’s influence on practices around supervision, doctoral study and research, including ethics.

Through exploring these themes, we hope to contribute to both a literature review of what is currently known, but also to instigate mutual research activities. Ultimately, we hope to draw on these ideas in terms of understanding the future directions of doctoral education, research training, and academic careers. We envision a variety of outcomes of this seminar, including blogs and articles.
