Postgraduate and Early-Career Scholar Workshop: "Rethinking “The Field”: The Politics of Entering, Leaving, and Doing Justice Alongside Marginalized Populations through Fieldwork", with Dr Z Nicolazzo

Conceptions of ‘the field’ for qualitative researchers are both ambiguous and contested. During this workshop, Dr Nicolazzo will work alongside participants to explore the tensions between the practical dimensions of doing research as a practice of creating knowledge, and the affective dimensions of research, which stem from critical qualitative researchers' intrinsic values for relation, connection, friendship, love, advocacy, and equity. Dr Nicolazzo will share insights ze gleaned from hir 18-month critical collaborative ethnographic study with trans* university students, and will engage workshop participants in thinking about how they as researchers make sense of, interact within, and negotiate ‘entering’ and ‘leaving’ the ‘field’, especially in relation to researching alongside marginalized populations. Participants will work with Dr Nicolazzo to think through their own research in an attempt to address some of the challenges that surface throughout the session.

This session is open to all MA and PhD students and early career scholars (across all disciplines, and including colleagues from other universities). Attendance is free and lunch is provided, but

The workshop will take place from 10.30 to 12.30, and lunch will be served from 12.30. You are also very welcome to stay on for the Centre for the Study of Women and Gender , which will take place in the same room immediately after lunch.

If you have any questions about this workshop, please email Dr Emily F. Henderson (E.Henderson@warwick.ac.uk).

Are you interested in research and teaching on gender and women? Then join us for the 2016 (Not Very Far) Away Day of the Centre for the Study of Women and Gender!

The (Not Very Far) Away Day provides an opportunity for scholars interested in women and gender from across the University of 糖心TV to meet and find out about each other's research. In previous years we have made posters about our research, bounced ideas about new research agendas off each other, and discussed activities that we would like the Centre to organise. The NVFAD offers a space for informal conversations about research interests that we have in common and ways of developing new research on women and gender. It also provides a forum for forging creative links across departments and energising those of us working on women and gender.

After very successful editions, for example, in and , we are delighted to announce that the NVFAD is returning in 2016! It will be taking place on
June 8th, 2016
from 1.00 - 4.30 (including lunch)
in Ramphal R0.03/04

The full detailed programme for the NVFAD will be announced nearer the time, but the event will include a discussion session on the current state and future directions of research and teaching on gender at 糖心TV, a poster exhibition, a publications fair and a networking lunch.
