FSS Showcase for Sustainability Research

Interested in the application of social sciences to sustainability? This event will provide a ‘shop window’ for wider engagement opportunities and the possibility of applying the wonderful skillsets within FSS to provide the balance of quantitative and qualitative contextualisation of research that is becoming more desired by UKRI and other major funders. There will be time for networking and discussions over lunch, with our ambition to develop new partnerships to coalesce around our specific UoS world leading expertise which will be on the front foot to bid for large research grants as they are launched. These partnerships would also be well placed to bid for SRI’s 24/25 Seed Funding call

Register your place HERE

Friday 14th June 11.30-13.30 (lunch provided)

This event is open to all UoS colleagues interested in the application of social sciences to sustainability, particularly those working in engineering and environmental research (notably in FEPS and FELS). We especially encourage ECRs to join.

Introduction

SRI and FSS, through the FSS Green and Sustainable Futures Network, have been working closely to develop links around sustainability and encourage interdisciplinarity.  FSS academics’ research is hugely applicable to all sorts of research, and the methods used have the potential to be transferable to many areas (e.g. legal frameworks, economist to value the impact of interventions, political theory, justice, social behaviour, mixed methods assessments etc).  These conceptual and methodological skillsets are becoming more desired by UKRI, particularly the balance of quantitative and qualitative contextualisation of research, and the additional of the social, economic and cultural components to a wider systems thinking approach.

Aim

The aim of this event is to showcase the expertise of social scientists across the FSS, how they apply  – or might apply – this expertise to sustainability issues  and the opportunities that exist for interdisciplinary work. A particular focus will be on methods, their application in current research projects and how they could be linked and transferred to a wider range of research across a broader section of the university.  There is a specific aim to link up the social science community with the engineering and environmental research (notably in FEPS and FELS) at the university.  SRI highlight the need for ‘social’ to be one of the pillars of sustainability and an increasing involvement within sustainable research across the university.  An additional objective of the showcase is to allow networking ‘open space’ for all attendees to meet members of FSS, with a particular call for ECRs to join, and discuss possible linkages and new collaborations, to be linked up ready to go when calls are released.

Format

Short presentations from FSS research highlighting:

• Specific areas of research expertise relevant to sustainability
• The methods and techniques involved
• Their application to a current or recent research project

• The potential for expanding their application to other disciplines.

   

Presenters and Topics:

Ellie Atayee-Bennett: Exploring Green Living: Faith Veganism and Diary Groups

Winchester School of Art Open Day - 16 November 2024

In this one-day online training workshop you will be introduced to four qualitative research methods to better understand diverse lives – Photo Go-Alongs, Collage, Life History Interviews and Participant Packs.

When researching social groups, researchers may focus on categories such as age, gender, sexuality and so on. These categories can turn catch-all terms into catch-all agendas.

Treating groups of people with one shared characteristic as homogenous risks a cookie-cutter approach which overlooks diverse lives and needs. Given the complexity of what it means to be a person, a one-size fits all approach to engagement cannot suffice.

The methods introduced in this training workshop are beneficial in exploring diverse lives and can be used when researching with any group.
