This interactive session will look at the current Higher Education landscape for public engagement and impact, the Research Excellence Framework (REF) and beyond. It will be led by the Faculty impact and public engagement team, helping you see the potential for impact and public engagement opportunities within your own research.
This session will now take place online. The session will now be led by Andrew McMillan and Kim Moore, both of whom have extensive experience working with a range of different media outlets. The session will take place as a text conversation using AdobeConnect. The session runs from 10-12.
Prof. Steve Miles - 19-02-20
What is the purpose of the Progression Review (RD2)? How can you best meet its demands? What are the expectations of the Annual Review process and how can you ensure you make the most of it?
What makes a piece of writing ‘academic’? How can you keep the reader of your thesis interested in what you have to say? We will look at some examples of fine academic writing and consider how you too can write in this manner.
Reading is about thinking and imagining all at the same time. It is about how you might use the facts and ideas you find to realise your own. It is as important to research as writing, experiment, practice, debate. The session will look at different ways of reading for research purposes.
Dr Kristina Niedderer asks and responds to the questions:
1. What is methodology?
2. Methodology as a road map
3. Distinguishing methods and approaches
4. Evaluating methodology
5. Exercise: building your own road map
Grounded theory is by far the most popular technique for qualitative data analysis. It is widely used in almost all social science disciplines including education, evaluation research, nursing, and sociology. It focuses on generating theoretical ideas from the data. The approach emphasises the systematic discovery of theory from data by using constant comparison method and theoretical sampling.

‘Taking notice’ is one of the pillars of wellbeing. It is connected to steadying our minds, becoming more focused, and appreciating the pleasures of our environment. In this hands-on workshop we will use photography to practice awareness. Bring a coat if it’s rainy as we will go outside.

This is an informal introduction and welcome to PAHC, the postgraduate research centre in the Arts and Humanities Faculty. We will discuss how you can get started with your research and you will meet other students and staff.
PAHC RTP 2019-20: Methods and Methodologies, Dr Dave Calvey, 30-10-19
This workshop will critically explore the role of covert research in social research methodology. This controversial and ethically stigmatised tradition is under-utilised within the social sciences and can provide creative and disruptive insights on the praxis and practice of fieldwork.
We live in an age of research measurement. In this session we consider the current form of the REF, how it effects both a university’s relationship with research and the developing careers of early-career researchers. The session will also consider what you can do to make sure you are best equipped and ‘in the know’ for the demands of the REF once you apply for and start an academic job.
Dr Ros Oates - 06/03/19
How do you gain funding or external grants during your research? Even small grants can be useful for your PhD journey, and they are a valuable addition to your CV. As well as exploring options for PhD students, we will look at how to write a funding bid and what re-sources Man Met can offer you to help you write a bid. Jessica Purdy, in the second year of her PhD, will share her experiences of bidding.

Dr Adi Kunstman - 23-01-19
This session will look at strategies of doing digital research in a multi-platform environment and address the difference between textual, visual, social and quantifiable data.

Open Research is the process of sharing your research findings with others, for example through Open Access publications, Open Data or blogging. It increases the visibility and accessibility of your work. This session covers the key areas related to open research, such as how to create a simple data management plan; obtaining informed consent for data sharing from research participants; the anonymisation and storage of sensitive data.

This session focuses on copyright issues that you should be aware of during your research process. It is important to understand why copyright matters when presenting research in a thesis and/or a published article as this will inevitably involve the use of the ideas and work of others. Consequently, you should also be aware of the rights applying to your own work, and how you want others to share and re-use the content that you create.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
