The Space

Join us for an interactive workshop exploring the concept of reflexivity, with one of our expert Sociologists! Curious to find out about the conscious and unconscious decisions we make in our daily lives? Are you interested in exploring how we see ourselves versus the world around us? Reflexivity is a personal power that all individuals possess, through which they engage in internal conversations about themselves and about the world around them. Reflexivity offers a great deal of promise to better understand why people do what they do in life, including the reasons behind their educational and occupational pursuits. Reflexive theory can provide an interesting interpretation to the world and can be used to explore the valuable community connections around us. The participants of the workshop will have the opportunity to learn about and explore how people’s everyday reflexivity (internal conversations or ‘self-talk’) can be effectively used in understanding of and creating better educational, occupational, personal and social lives. This will be an interactive and discursive reading style session. A short amount of pre-reading is encouraged to provide some context to the session. The workshop is suitable for participants of any age, gender, race and ethnicity. All the reading and activity material will be provided. We aim to ensure all people have equal access to events. If you need reasonable adjustments, please get in touch with HW Engage ahead of the session: hwengage@hw.ac.ukDr. Lakshman Wimalasena is a researcher at Heriot-Watt University in the School of Social Sciences. He has carried out a decade worth of research on the concept of personal reflexivity to the participants. He researches in the areas of work and meaning of work, critical issues in Human Resource Management, diversity, inclusion, rural women, digitalisation and social media and personal reflexivity.
