Practical Theology Research Seminar: Self-Care and Sensitive Research
-

This is a past event

Research can be isolating, hard work, and dangerous, and might involve managing sensitive subjects on a regular basis and in intimate ways. How can we care for ourselves well while undertaking such research?

Encouraged reading (NB - Content warnings for death & suicide): Ben Fincham, Jonathan Scourfield & Susanne Langer (2008) The Impact of Working with Disturbing Secondary Data: Reading Suicide Files in a Coroner’s Office, Qualitative Health Research, 18, 6, DOI: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1049732307308945

As part of this session, we will begin creating a collaborative collage of our advice and wisdom about self-care throughout the research process.
