Two Early-Career Fellows, Dr Yanyan Li and Shaoyu Yang, have secured 拢9,996.40 from the Enhancing Research Culture Fund for their project, 'Creating Trauma-Oriented Coping Strategies for Researchers Experiencing Vicarious Trauma Arising from Conducting Emotionally Challenging Research'.
IAS Early Career Fellow Dr Hande 脟ay谋r contributed a review to the British Psychological Society鈥檚 Qualitative Methods in Psychology (QMiP).
The review offers a reflective account of ECQI 2025, illustrating how the conference foregrounded practices of hope, relationality, and collective knowledge-making through concrete examples such as the Sew What? collective stitching workshop, Edgar Rodriguez-Dorans鈥� performance Mi Amigo Giovanni鈥檚 Death, and the creation of a neurodivergent-affirming space for zine-making, while asking: How might we build a culture of agreement in research?
