# data[].attributes.custom_properties.sh4ygK0o
This workshop explores Place & Memory in two parts. The first half examines what it is to navigate space, time, and social relationships, drawing on phenomenological approaches to (dis)orientation. The session considers how moments of disorientation reveal memory’s role in shaping identity. Techniques like the ‘memory palace’ and Indigenous songlines will be discussed, with applications to participants’ research. The second half addresses memory research in contexts of disorientation, ruination, and violence, focusing on absences, silences, and traces. Using ethnographic readings and discussion, participants will explore methodological strategies for working with fragmented and non-traditional sources.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.XP34gh78
Prof Lesley Henderson, University of Strathclyde

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.sh4ygK0o
Media and communications have never been more important in shaping our understanding of the world, helping to propel certain issues up the policy agenda while marginalising others. This session explores tools, concepts and approaches to environmental communication, and how these can be applied to pressing environmental crises such as plastic pollution and the climate emergency. It begins with reflections on the role of media and communications in global policy, drawing on UKRI-funded international fieldwork in the UK, Europe and Indonesia to show how the discipline contributes to novel interdisciplinary research. The second part explores the use of diverse quantitative and qualitative tools in these contexts. Students will be encouraged to reflect on their own research in terms of approaches, impact and interdisciplinarity.

You’ll experience the joy of improv and storytelling. It’s about connecting with yourself and others in a playful environment. Entirely non-competitive and not about being put on the spot. The opposite! Try for yourself the pleasure of movement, presence and storytelling and see that it builds friendship, connection and laughter.You’ll discover that improv exercises offer ways to reduce self-criticism and perfectionism and instead build a strong presence in the moment and connect with others PGR’s during an often lonely academic journey.
We’ve been running these workshops with highly diverse participants without prior experience across Europe (we’re based in Scotland) and they have simply enjoyed themselves…and so do we!

Helen Donaghue (Queen Margaret University)

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.sh4ygK0o
Doctoral writing involves expressing not only what you know but what you think. You are not a neutral observer - rather you are expected to present yourself and convey your judgements, opinions and commitments. Voice and Stance, then, are importance features of critical doctoral writing. They refer to the ways writers express an attitude or point of view in relation to research and literature, readers, ideas and knowledge. In this workshop, you will be guided to analyse examples of doctoral writing in which writers express a strong voice and stance and examples in which the writer disappears. By the end of this session, you will have identified different ways to express voice and stance in your writing.

This workshop invites participants to explore how a single creative idea can be translated and reinterpreted through different ways—through words, handmade collage, and AI-generated images. Participants will reflect on how the process of turning abstract ideas into visual form is shaped by human or machine interpretation, and how the final outcome and expression of ideas can vary depending on how we choose to express them.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.sh4ygK0o
The workshop includes several short tasks. Participants will create their own collage pieces, explore others’ work, including images generated by AI, and join in discussions about how creative ideas can be understood or transformed in the process. Through making, observing, and interpreting, participants will explore how different ways of expressing an idea can influence how it takes visual form. This workshop is part of Jia's ongoing PhD research. By taking part, you'll be contributing valuable perspectives to an exploration of how AI interacts with and influences artistic creation.

Irene (who, by all accounts, should be a doctor by then - though for any health-related issues, please do still consult your GP) will diagnose and ‘treat’ any PhD-related issue in true NHS style: she’ll Google your symptoms, listen to your woes for a generous four minutes, patronise you just enough, offer a prescription, and send you on your way within the minute. NEXT!  Armed with a scrub, an online-bought stethoscope, and an endless supply of Skittles, there is no question she will not have an answer to, nor any academic affliction she cannot cure!
