The ongoing situation created by the pandemic has proved disruptive to PGR research at King’s. With many research libraries, archives and specialist collections closed, we have all had to reframe our research approaches in the light of COVID. For many of us, our research has pivoted in unexpected directions, giving rise to new research questions and methodological considerations. This Faculty/AHRI peer to peer workshop is designed to help Arts & Humanities PGR students consider the problems they are facing in their PhD, discuss potential solutions with peers, and hear from PGRs who have already begun to reshape their research and the considerations that have gone into this. This workshop is also open to supervisors as well as students. There is little guidance for PhD supervisors about changing research questions and methods.

The first part of the workshop will consist of short presentations by four PGR students who have rethought what they will do in the light of COVID even though they are substantially progressed and their reflections on this. The speakers are:

  • Taylor Annabell (Culture, Media & Creative Industries) – Digital memory work during Covid-19: Reflections on the unexpected opportunities in adapting research methods and aims
  • Nick Makoha (English) – The Metic Experience of the Black British Writer - Challenging the Margins of African writing
  • Xiaoying Han (Culture, Media & Creative Industries) – Researching long-distance communication during social distancing: implications for a study of left-behind children in China
  • Renasha Khan (Theology & Religious Studies) – British Bangladeshi Women and Online Selfhood; Methodological adaptations

Following these presentations, the second part of the workshop will be an open session for students to discuss in break out groups problems and solutions for their own research.

This event is open to Arts & Humanities PGR students only. For more information and to register, please visit Eventbrite
