OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
WELFARE IN FIELDWORK & RESEARCH: Working group for self-care and emotional wellbeing in research
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.
