Walking and talking are healthful, creative and positive aspects of social life, as we are all finding in particular during this period of COVID-19. This event takes advantage of the beauty of participants’ local environments to host a walking and talking event about and for quality research where YOU are. Guided by methodological literature about walking methods, participants will walk in small groups using your own mobile device to share images and respond to prompts in an online workshop session. The aim is to critically reflect on personal experiences of research methodology and to use discussion to stimulate challenging and productive personal reflection on what makes for worthwhile and quality research. After a guided (in both talking and walking) social experience, participants will meet for a collective plenary using video conferencing technology to join together in identifying personal and collective ‘takeaways’. Whether established or early career researchers, we hope this event offers something to challenge and stimulate you.
NB: Please note by registering for this event you agree for your name and phone number to be added to a Whatsapp group with one of the speakers and a maximum of 3 other participants.
