Dr Lauren White (iHuman and School of Education) and Dr Louise Kay (School of Education) organised a PhD and ECR symposium focused around methods and methodologies. The aim of our ECR symposium series was to create a friendly, inclusive and generative space where doctoral students, ECRs and experienced academics engaged in dialogue about aspects of the research process. The symposium involved discussions from PhD students and ECRs across the faculty reflecting upon creative methodologies, reflexivity within research, ethical questions and practice and working with diverse social groups. We came together to discuss methods and methodology across all stages of the research process, with contributions from peers across the faculty and supported by more experienced academics providing advice and suggestions on methodological development.

How we understand being ‘human’ differs between disciplines and has changed radically over time. We are living in an age marked by rapid growth in knowledge about the human body and brain, and new technologies with the potential to change them.
