SUMMARY:Decolonising concepts through memes
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Call: “Decolonizing Concepts through Memes” \nDate: March 18\, 2025\, Time: 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm \nDate: March 26\, 2025\, Time: 12:00-4:00pm \nDate: April 1\, 2025\, Time: 1-5pm \nDate: April 10\, 2025\, Time: 2-6pm \n  \nWorkshop Overview: \nJoin us for an interactive workshop on “Decolonizing Concepts through Memes\,” where participants will take inspiration in the Brazilian sociologist and educator\, Paulo Freire\, and French Philosopher\, Henri Bergson\, to critically deconstruct mythologies of AI and creatively reinterpret visual media\, and the transformative potential of memes to challenge and disrupt colonial narratives embedded in political\, social\, and cultural concepts as reinforced by predictive and generative AI. \nWorkshop facilitator: \nThis workshop is facilitated by Dr Christoffer Guldberg\, who has written extensively on the war on drugs and online activism and violence in Brazil and beyond\, most recently in a peer-reviewed article on multi-modal memes. By bringing his research on the war on drugs\, AI and memes into the university in this interactive workshop he intends to push the boundaries of participatory research and active learning. His teaching methods have been published as blogs and peer-reviewed article at King’s Academy\, the University of Warwick\, and the KCL Decolonial Blog\, undotcomfortable\, and he hosts a podcast on decolonising AI at KCL – a Mostly Human Podcast. \nObjectives: \n\nExamine Coloniality in Visual Media: Begin with guided Google Image searches of terms like “International Development\,” “Refugee\,” or “Drug Trafficker” to critically assess how visual representations reflect and reinforce colonial\, racialized\, and gendered biases.\nCreative Disruption: After identifying biases\, participants will reframe these narratives by creating layered\, multi-modal memes\, drawing on their own knowledge and experience. Using screenshots from their searches\, participants will draw\, write\, and collage over images\, challenging the colonial undertones of these depictions.\nCollaboration and Sharing: Participants will be able to share and develop each other’s works\, both through institutional channels and their own networks\, echoing the iterative and community-driven nature of meme culture online and offline.\nCompetition and Exhibitions:\n\nSelected works will be displayed at our exhibition at the Science Gallery\, inviting feedback and engagement from a broader audience and continuing the critical conversations initiated in the workshop. \nAgenda: \n*2:00 pm – 2:45 pm: Introduction – Concept and Coloniality\n2:45 pm – 3:30 pm: Hands-on Image Search and Critical Analysis Exercise\n3:30 pm – 4:00 pm: Coffee Break\n4:00 pm – 5:30 pm: Creative Meme-Making Session\n5:30 pm – 6:00 pm: Sharing and Group Reflection \n*Note: While each workshop follows the same sequence of activities\, the start and end times vary by date to align with the different start times. This is to make sure that staff and students with different schedules and responsibilities have the chance to attend. \nWho Should Attend: \nThis workshop is open to all students\, as well as teaching and research staff\, including PhD students\, who are interested in media literacy\, decolonial studies\, and creative forms of resistance. No prior experience with meme creation is required. \nRegistration: \nPlease register by Skillsforge: Register here \nEmbark on a critical journey with us to uncover and subvert colonial narratives through the power of digital media and meme-making!

SUMMARY:Kindness in Research Conference
DESCRIPTION:This is the 2nd Edition of KiR after the successful 2022 event. KiR is organised by early career researchers and is funded by the London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS DTP) through its Student-Led Activity fund. \nIn trauma-informed research we also acknowledge that anyone can be affected by trauma – including academics\, clinicians\, and PhD students – and that this is not an inherent sign of vulnerability or weakness but can often be a source of connection\, empathy and kindness\, leading to better data and more ethical research. \nJoin us for a discussion on trauma-informed approaches to research and methods. We will bring together a group of researchers and survivor-researchers who have addressed this topic in their work. We will have a mixture of talks\, panel discussions and practical workshops. Attendees will leave with a toolkit that they can apply to their own research practice.\nThe conference will run between 9:45am – 8pm. Catering will be provided for lunch. \nProgramme:\n9:45 – 10:15: Tea\, coffee and biscuits \n10:15 – 10:30: Introduction and Welcome \n10:30 – 11:30: Session I: Talk by Siofra Peeren \n11:30 – 11:45: Comfort break \n11:45 – 12:45 – Session II: Workshop by Dr. Susanna Alyce – Self Care: today and in future\, wellbeing and Trauma-Informed Awareness Toolkit\nTrauma is tricky; researching it can bring us close to our own edges\, or hand us vicarious trauma. In this workshop we will think together about how to recognise your personal trauma and trigger signature\, what ‘holding’ and defusing interventions and actions work for you and use the shared group knowledge to make a map for our own use in our work and lives. We will also explore more immediate skills to find steady ground when shaken. The space will be held by Susanna\, a trauma survivor who works with counselling\, mindfulness and yoga with clients and uses these skills in her work as a researcher. She recently completed her PhD with survivors of child sexual abuse. \n12:45 – 13:45 – Lunch \n13:45 – 14:45 – Session III: Workshop by Jane Chevous from Survivors Voice \n14:45 – 15:00 – Comfort break \n15:00 – 16:00- Session IV: Creative Wellbeing Session led by Writerz N Scribez \n16:00 – 16:15 – Comfort break \n16:15 – 16:45 – Session V: Talk by Anjuli Kaul – Improving motional safety\, coping and resilience in researchers of violence and abuse: Findings from a qualitative study.\nIn her presentation Anjuli will share the findings of a qualitative study that her team conducted exploring experiences of secondary trauma and organisational support in researchers of violence and abuse. She will also address the ways that organisations can improve their support of violence researchers to foster safer workplace environments and better mental wellbeing for staff and students. \n16:45 – 17:00 – Comfort break \n17:00 – 18:00 – Panel and Reflections \n18:00 – 18:30 – Close and Feedback \n18:30 – 20:00 – Drinks and Snacks \nSpeaker bios:\nSiofra Peeren\nSiofra is a PhD Student at Kings College London \nDr Susanna Alyce (she/her)\nSusanna Alyce recently passed her doctorate at the University of Essex and is an educator in trauma-informed practice at the University for Clinical Psychology students\, and for the charity Survivors’ Voices.\nSusanna’s other work is in teaching Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and yoga.

SUMMARY:Post PhD Reflections: What is academia and do I want to work in it?!
DESCRIPTION:This event will be a friendly opportunity for doctoral students to think about working in academia after they finish their PhDs. We will hear briefly from three speakers: Dr. Rana Khazbak\, Dr. Billy Holzberg\, and Dr. Amy Seakins before we open for general discussion and Q&A about academia after the PhD. \nYou don’t have to be certain you want to stay in academia to attend (lol\, is anyone)\, but the aim is to give us a chance to honestly chat about the options post-PhD and the experiences of peers who have made the transition out of their PhDs and into academic or non-academic posts in universities. \nWhile Rana and Billy currently hold academic posts at King’s\, Amy\, who previously completed her PhD at King’s and worked as a Research Associate for some time has now moved into the role of Deputy Head of Public Engagement at Imperial. \nRefreshments (alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks and some snacks) will be provided\, so please only sign up for an in person ticket if you are able to come.

SUMMARY:Feminist Futures Workshop - Feminist Perspectives + Rabbits Road Press
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the wonderful pieces we were able to publish as part of our 2022 Feminist Futures series\, we at Feminist Perspectives are hosting a printing workshop in collaboration with Rabbits Road Press. \nParticipants of the workshop will be invited to collectively create a magazine with pages inspired by the pieces of the Feminist Future series. The idea is that each participant designs one page inspired by any of the pieces – a drawing\, a collage\, etc. – accompanied by a quote or message from that same work. It is an invitation to think of a more plural feminist future through the arts. In the end\, we will produce a 20 pages magazine with the designs created during the workshop. \nIf you are interested in participating in the workshop\, we kindly ask you to register by emailing lea.happ@kcl.ac.uk and natali.cinelli_moreira@kcl.ac.uk\, providing your full name\, institutional affiliation and whether or not you are funded by LISS DTP. The deadline for registration is 03/02/2023.

SUMMARY:Introduction to the UK's linked administrative data resources workshop
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to the UK’s linked administrative data resources workshop\n  \nThis workshop will introduce delegates to the wealth of linked administrative datasets that are available for researchers to access through ADR UK’s partner trusted research environments.  Participants will learn about the datasets themselves\, how to access them\, and what other resources are available to support their use\, including funding.  It will showcase opportunities for cross-cutting research using these linked datasets\, including a case study from a researcher to illustrate the research potential of this kind of data. \n  \nBackground \nAdministrative data is collected when people interact with public services\, such as such as schools and colleges\, the NHS\, the courts\, and the benefits system. When these data are linked\, they can provide powerful insights for research that can inform policy to improve people’s lives. ADR UK was formed in 2018 to support the opening-up and linkage of government-held administrative data for research for the public good. In addition to making available lots of exciting new\, national-level linked datasets\, much progress has been to provide support for researchers to use it through the development of discoverable metadata\, resources\, and research funding. ADR UK is continuing to develop its training and capacity building activities to further support the use of these datasets through\, for example\, the commissioning of training on how to use these large and often complex datasets.​ \nAgenda: \n12pm – 12.30pm: Introduction to administrative data\, Administrative Data Research UK\, and overview of linked administrative data available (Balint Stewart\, ADR UK): \n12.30pm- 1pm: Accessing data for research in DEA-accredited trusted research environments (Natasha Kong\, UK Statistics Authority) \n1pm -1.30pm:Linked administrative data research case study (Prof. Lindsey Macmillan\, UCL): Is it all about school? Intergenerational income mobility in England and the importance of education (Longitudinal Education Outcomes dataset). \n  \nMore information  \nIf you require further information about this event\, please contact Yi Xiang (Xiang\, Yi yi.xiang@kcl.ac.uk) or Balint Stewart  (balint.stewart@esrc.ukri.org)​. \n  \nHow to register: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/introduction-to-the-uks-linked-administrative-data-resources-tickets-446035001697. \n  \n  \nAdditional materials:​  \nADR UK data brochure

SUMMARY:EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE ECONOMICS JOB MARKET\, BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK
DESCRIPTION:The Qatar Centre for Global Banking and Finance is delighted to offer a workshop aimed at economics PhD students preparing for “the job market”. The workshop will consist of an afternoon of panel discussions and Q&A sessions. Various myths and misunderstandings surround the job market\, making the process more stressful and complicated than it needs to be. We hope to dispel those myths by starting a friendly discussion between (and among) students\, academics\, and private-sector recruiters. \nThis event (at KBS’s Bush House on July 4th) is open to all Economics PhD students at UK departments (not only macro and not only at King’s College London) and will be run in person. We encourage students at any stage of their PhD to sign up. Please note\, however\, in the case of capacity constraints\, priority will be given to students intending to go on the market in 2022/23. \nIf you wish to attend\, please register here and kindly complete this form. \nAny questions? Please email qcgbf.phd.event@gmail.com \nWe will discuss various mechanical aspects of the market (what to expect at interview\, how to market your paper\, etc.). Panelists include employees from: \n\nAcademic: Bank of England\, Institute for Fiscal Studies\, University of Oxford and Banque de France\nPrivate sector: BlackRock\, Goldman Sachs\, NERA Economic Consulting\, and Deliveroo\n\nYou will also get to hear from recent PhD graduates who will share their experiences of navigating the economics job market. In addition\, the finalists of QCGBF’s Young Economist Prize competition will present their work at the end of the day.

SUMMARY:Your Career: Objectives\, Actions\, and Obstacles
DESCRIPTION:Places are available for LAHPs final careers workshop of the academic year: Your Career: Objectives\, Actions and Obstacles which takes place onsite at Keats House in Hampstead on Monday 27th June 2022 from 9:30am-5pm. This workshop is available to non- LAHP students.  \nThe workshop will be provided by the Menagerie theatre company \nWorkshop overview \nConveners: Patrick Morris & Caroline Rippin of Menagerie Theatre Company \nThis training session gets PhD students to think openly\, imaginatively and rigorously about their working futures. It culminates inall participants identifying a set of short and long-term objectives\, the actions they will take to achieve those objectives\, and the obstacles that stand in their way.  The session is framed around the following questions: \nWhat transferable skills have you built up while doing a PhD? \nWhat is your skills base\, for any career? \nWho ARE you and who MIGHT you be? \nParticipants work both collectively and individually – we design the activities to ensure that there is time and space to think in new ways about career paths. Key to the workshop is that participants challenge their own and each other’s thinking. Playful interaction is integral to the atmosphere and success of the workshop. \nWe use interaction\, storytelling techniques and self-reflective exercises to guide participants through the day\, which is built around them creating a narrative for their career. Participants both speak and write their ideas\, constantly re-drafting\, refining\, distilling and sometimes completely re-thinking. It is not a smooth path through the day but all participants come away with one chosen set of objectives\, actions and obstacles. \nBooking information \nPlaces can be booked via the workshop booking form on the website (linked below).  \nThe deadline for booking a place will be Thursday 22nd June at 12pm. \nThis workshop will be limited to a maximum of 12 attendees and places will be allocated on a first-come\, first-served basis.

SUMMARY:Jenny Cheshire Lecture 2022 - Miriam Meyerhoff
DESCRIPTION:On Aesthetics and Language Variation – Lecture by Miriam Meyerhoff \nMost people know that different ways of saying things sound “nice” or “funny” or “sexy”. But linguists are curiously reluctant to engage directly with the fact that we have an aesthetic response to language variation. Qualitative sociolinguists\, following anthropologist colleagues\, are more open to discussing attitudes\, ascriptions\, qualia and other forms of overt aesthetic commentary. But variationists have largely shied away from the topic. In this paper\, I will suggest that covert aesthetic evaluations play a role in variation and change. The approach to aesthetics used here is less akin to a Western tradition of aesthetics\, and has more in common with Asian notions of aesthetics. I present two case studies of variation and change. One is an instance where aesthetic considerations seem to be feeding change\, the other is an instance where aesthetic factors seem to be retarding change. (This is work undertaken in collaboration with Norma Mendoza-Denton.) \nProfessor Miriam Meyerhoff is Senior Research Fellow at All Souls College\, Oxford University. She has made key research contributions in the fields of sociolinguistic variation\, language and dialect contact\, Creole linguistics\, language and gender\, linguistic theory\, and the symbolic construction of social identity through language. \nThe event will be in-person\, followed by a reception. It will not be live-streamed but will be recorded. Attendance is free but please register via Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Alternative Guide to Postgraduate Funding Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Are you a current PhD or PGR student who needs extra funding for fees\, living expenses\, research\, conference or 4th year PhD writing-up costs? Have you been adversely affected financially by the Covid-19 Coronavirus? \nIf the answer is ‘yes’\, then considering attending this webinar! \nIt’s all about funding from unusual places you probably haven’t heard of! As well as explaining the more ‘usual’ postgraduate funding options available\, it’s mainly about alternative grant-making bodies in Britain: principally charities\, trusts\, and foundations. \nCharities and trusts are seldom used by students\, but often make grants regardless of subject\, course\, or nationality. They are an excellent – but underrated – funding option. By the end of the course\, you’ll be able to: identify the appropriate alternative funding bodies for you\, find them via books and the internet\, and apply strongly and correctly. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe workshop is based on an award-winning resource called the ‘Alternative Guide to Postgraduate Funding’. All participants will get free access (www.postgraduate-funding.com)! \nThe workshop will be delivered by Dr. Luke Blaxill\, who won 45 separate grants from charities and trusts as a postgraduate student and whose story has been featured in several national newspapers and on TV. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe deadline for booking a place will be Monday 30th May at 5pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe webinar is open to doctoral students at LAHPs eight partner institutions (UCL\, KCL\, SAS\, QMUL\, LSE\, RCM\, RCA\, RCSSD) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlaces can be booked here via the booking form \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Structure \n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipation in the ‘active’ parts of the webinar is optional. You can simply dial in\, turn your camera off and listen to the whole webinar if you wish. Or you can be more active by posting questions to the facilitator\, posting input to the discussion sessions\, and indeed contributing directly to the optional flexi discussion at the end.

SUMMARY:Queen Mary University of London | Linguistics Department Seminar
DESCRIPTION:“A sociolinguistic perspective on why it is necessary to distinguish among types of creaky voice” \nRobert J. Podesva\nStanford University \nABSTRACT:\nAs discourses about creaky voice started circulating in the media a decade ago\, scholars have shed considerable light on its sociolinguistic complexity (Podesva 2013\, Lee 2015\, Becker et al. 2017\, Zimman 2017). This paper\, by providing evidence from two studies\, argues that attending to the phonetic complexity of creaky voice (Keating\, Garellek\, and Kreiman 2015) offers a clearer picture of its social patterning and indexicality. \nThe first study examines voice quality variation in a large corpus of spontaneous California English to evaluate the empirical validity of social discourses that characterize young women as the quintessential producers of creaky voice. Crucially\, creaky voice is quantified in a variety of ways – through binary classification as well as acoustic measures that each capture distinct phonetic properties. Results indicate that even though women exhibit a higher incidence of creak than men phrase-finally\, the gender difference disappears in earlier positions in the phrase\, a prosodic domain into which younger speakers have introduced creak. Further\, while women exhibit phonetically stronger creak than men overall\, young men and the oldest women rival younger women in this regard. That young men’s patterns resemble those of young women suggests that creaky voice presents indexical potentials that go beyond gender. \nThe second study investigates voice quality variation in an audiovisual corpus of dyadic interactions among young people in Northern California to probe the social indexicality of creaky voice. Previous discourse analytic studies (Grivičić and Nilep 2004\, Lee 2015\, Zimman 2017) have independently claimed that creaky voice indexes negative affect or disengagement. This study tests whether these claims can be generalized and also attempts to disentangle evaluative stance (negative affect) from footing/alignment (disengagement). Speech classified as creaky was grouped into two clusters on the basis of 4 acoustic measures that capture different phonetic dimensions of voice quality. One cluster exhibiting the acoustic properties of what Keating et al. (2015) call “prototypical creak” was more likely to include words conveying lower arousal (based on computational approaches to sentiment analysis) and was characterized by less body movement (based on computer vision analysis). A second cluster with the acoustic properties of what might be more accurately labeled “vocal fry” was more likely to include words with negative valence and phrases with more negative sentiment. In conclusion\, acoustically distinct qualities of creaky voice (prototypical creak and vocal fry) conventionally index distinct interactional properties (disengagement and negative affect\, respectively). Teasing them apart would not be possible without making finer grained distinctions among vocal practices that all fall under the domain of “creak.” \nONLINE (Zoom link: https://qmul-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/87971879921?pwd=Z1o3V3crVWlIekR1MXBUNmI2Mm9xQT09)

SUMMARY:Methods workshop: Identifying Hidden Patterns in your Data
DESCRIPTION:When: 3rd of May 2022: 9:30-17:30\nLocation: War Studies Department (room tbc)\nFormat: In-person \nThis transdisciplinary event will allow students and early career researchers to explore the power of quali-quantitative methods for processing and analysing large amounts of data. It starts from the assumption that many of the most popular approaches to analysing data about social phenomena (both qualitative and quantitative) can miss or omit certain key relations\, patterns\, and social dimensions. In the morning\, attendees will first hear how leading academics have deployed quali-quantitative techniques to uncover hidden elements that structure certain social spaces\, from the “field” of Eurocracy to EU Research and Development in border security. This will be followed in the afternoon by a hands-on\, interactive session to explore specific techniques (Correspondence Analysis\, Multiple Correspondence Analysis) and relevant software in more depth. \nEarly stage PHD students looking for ways to expand on their methods training or find new ways to collect and analyse their own data\, as well as PGRs and ECRs with prior knowledge/experience of the methods under discussion\, are all welcome. \nThe event follows a successful event on Visual Network Analysis in April\, and is a collaboration between the London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS DTP) and the Department of War Studies at King’s College London. \nFor further details & to sign up\, please contact Liam McVay (liam.mcvay@kcl.ac.uk)or Josh Walmsley (josh.walmsley@kcl.ac.uk). \nSpeakers & Instructors\nFrédéric Lebaron is Professor of Sociology at the École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay and co-author of Bourdieu and Data Analysis: Methodological Principles and Practice. Professor Lebaron will discuss the utilisation of Geometric Data Analysis in his research into the European Economic Field. \nMédéric Martin-Mazé is Lecturer in the Department of Science at Paris 8 University Vincennes-Saint-Denis\, where his research spans across international organisations and security aid in postcolonial States. \nSarah Perret is Research Associate at the Department of War Studies of King’s College London\, working on the ECR Project Security Flows\, and holds Chair in Geopolitics of Risk at the Ecole Normale Supérieure. \nDr Martin-Mazé and Dr Perret will discuss their joint work using Multiple Correspondence Analysis to map the sociotechnical universe of EU borders.
