Event Launch: Research Culture in Arts and Humanities

Staff members of working in the area of arts and humanities are warmly invited to the launch event ‘Approaching Research Culture in the Arts and Humanities’. This initiative aims to gain a nuanced understanding of what research culture from an arts and humanities perspective looks like. The project explores priorities and opportunities, as well as similarities and differences to STEM-led approaches, offering insights into wider sector debate.

 

During the lunchtime session, we will hear from Dr Alisha L. Jones, Academic Convenor and Dr Allison Ksiazkiewicz, Project Coordinator about the project’s ambitions, participatory approach and planned activities; and Dr Marie Collier, Enhancing Research Culture @ Cambridge on the wider-University research culture initiative. Introductions will be followed by an interactive segment designed to explore and map ecosystems of a flourishing research culture. We hope to encourage interest in this initiative as we begin to engage departments, researchers and staff in discussions on how research culture is currently practiced and what it means for each of us.

Research culture is built on the behaviours, values, expectations and norms of research communities, which affects research and administrative staff at every level. Please join us in discovering the shape of research culture in the Arts and Humanities at Cambridge.
