PGR Disruptive Methods Conference

SEED PGR

A one day conference to discuss disruptive approaches to research projects that contribute to social justice

This is a one day conference which explores and investigates creative and innovative research designs which aim to disrupt and transform societal inequalities. The conference focuses on out-of-the-box thinking that pushing the boundaries of traditional research designs, with a particular focus on social justice and inequalities. This might include, but is not limited to: participatory designs, creative research approaches, performance art methods, arts or photograph-based approaches, storytelling techniques, or musical and audio designs, among others. Through presentations of innovative research designs and tailored small group discussions, participants will be encouraged to consider:<ul><li>How might existing research designs fail to capture and interrogate inequalities or issues pertaining to social justice? </li><li>How can researchers disrupt the existing status quo of knowledge production through innovative research designs? </li><li>What ‘new’ approaches to research are needed to disrupt inequalities in varied research topics? </li><li>How can research designs be made more transformative within historically oppressive environments and in light of existing research structures? </li></ul>Throughout the conference, participants will be encouraged to reflect on their own positionality and their relationship to their research context, as well as learn from interdisciplinary scholars who are pushing the boundaries of ‘traditional’ research designs. Call for participation During the conference, we hope to showcase the innovative and disruptive approaches that our PGRs are already developing or reflecting on in their research designs. Therefore, you are invited to submit an short abstract of no more than 300 words for consideration by the conference committee, due by January 20. We are open to creative ideas for participation and presentations topics, but this may include (and is not limited to):<ul><li>Examples of innovative and disruptive research methods from your own work</li><li>Reflections on ethical considerations for innovative and disruptive research designs</li><li>Reflections on structural constraints and barriers which restrict innovative research designs </li><li>Conceptual and theoretical reflections related to disruptive methods which pose ideological questions or considerations for discussion </li></ul>Individual presentations will be 15-20 minutes, but suggestions for a group symposium or activity beyond this time limit are welcome suggestions. Contributions are intended to be made in person, but please note in your abstract if you would only be able to contribute via online.
