Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
