OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This workshop aims to provide a platform to share and discuss emotional and psychological challenges that researchers face in the field and in other stages of research. We invite you to join us to explore different experiences of fieldwork and research, focusing on specific challenges we faced, and discuss tips and strategies for self-care and mental wellbeing.
Research and fieldwork can have many challenges including: loneliness, emotional distancing, stress and anxiety, helplessness, guilt, dealing with power dynamics, negotiating language barriers, culture shock and reverse culture-shock, and secondary trauma.
Attendees are encouraged to share their own experiences, discuss their concerns and offer advice (if they feel comfortable to do so). The workshop is an inclusive space and we ask for your consideration and respect during discussion.
Everyone is welcome and refreshments will be provided.
