Corkscrew Show and Tell (31 October) – For all Practice Based Research Students

Show and Tell: Birkbeck practice-research PhD students present and discuss their work in progress

Thursday 31 October 2019

2-5pm

43 Gordon Square Room 106

Mah Rana: Crafting with my mother: Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to investigate the lived experience of dyadic crafting from the perspective of adult-daughter carers of mothers with dementia.

Women hold a majority but marginalised status within dementia-care statistics. This marginalised, but also hidden status makes it important to explore ways of making women’s experiences visible and understood. My PhD research is a qualitative psychology study using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to investigate verbal accounts in conjunction with primary source film footage of inter and intra-interactions of participant dyads (adult-daughter carers and mothers with dementia) in order to elicit a deep understanding of the meaning-making that daughters draw from their lived experience of caring for their mother.

Mah is a  2nd year PhD student in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Birkbeck. The multi-disciplinary focus of my PhD reflects the modus operandi of my established arts-based research practice. One Day When We Were Young is a short film, made in 2016 and subsequently a driver for the current PhD study, that explores the dementia-care relationship as mutually beneficial to both the carer and the person cared for.

Sasha Bergstrom-Katz: On the Subject of Tests

The project looks to examine and (re)present the affective dimensions of these tests by creating a visual archive of the test materials and by scripting, rehearsing and performing the tests in order to explore the experience of being the subject of study.

Sasha is an artist and researcher who utilises video, sculpture and staged performance to address issues of subjectivity, identification and diagnosis in the human sciences. Her practice-led PhD project centers around the history and aesthetic design of two prominent 20th century tests devised to assess the intelligence of children in pedagogical and psychological settings.

Open to all PhD students. No need to book.

Corkscrew – Show and Tell 27 February 2017 2-5pm

Corkscrew: Show and Tell

Hosted by Bruno Roubicek, artist and Birkbeck PhD student, show and tell sessions invite practice-based research students to present work in progress. It’s an opportunity to share your emerging practice and receive feedback in a supportive environment. Sessions through the year will consider how practice and scholarship can work together to generate insight and understanding. What is “doing knowledge” and how can practice be made evident to examiners?

On Monday 27 February, 2-5pm, join us for the spring Show and Tell session. Alongside presentations, we will discuss Sophie Hope’s article ‘Bursting paradigms: a colour wheel of practice-research’, Cultural Trends, 25, 2 (2016), 74-86 (NB. Senate House Library membership needed for access via this link).

Show and Tell takes place in G10, School of Arts.

The summer date will be announced later in the year.

RSVP to Bruno here.

The Particularities of Conference Presentation

On Friday 3 March, 9.30am-12.30pm, join us for a 3-hour workshop that offers training in delivering conference presentations effectively.

Conference presentation is an essential aspect of the working life of a professional researcher.  Yet doctoral students often acquire skills in this area somewhat unevenly, learning through trial and error.  This workshop approaches the conference presentation as a moment of public performance.  It asks: what are the formal features of an effective presentation?  What techniques can a presenter use to communicate with his or her audience – whether in the context of scholarly conferences, public lectures, or arts venues?  This workshop is run in collaboration with artists from Haranczak-Navarre Performance Projects.

Participating students can then either attend or present research on collaborative practices at Twofold: the Particularities of Working in Pairs (Friday 3 & Saturday 4 March 2017) – a symposium that explores the duet as a mode of collaboration across the disciplines.  See the foot of this email for the CFP – deadline Friday 27 January.

The Particularities of Conference Presentation is supported by the CHASE Cohort Development Fund.  Places are free but limited to 20 – booking is essential.
