糖心传媒 ECR Day

糖心传媒 ECR Day

13:00 – 18:30, 2 September 2024聽
University of Sussex, Brighton, BN1 9RH

The 糖心传媒 ECR Day is open for attendees of the conference and others who might not attend the conference.

Activities for the 2024 edition will include:

  • COMPARE workshop
  • Roundtable discussion
  • Speed mentoring and
  • Socials

The workshop will be facilitated by Prof Catherine Montgomery, one of the current Compare Editors. Prof Montgomery is based in the School of Education at Durham University, UK and she also supports the Compare Fellowship scheme which is funded by 糖心传媒. The writing workshop was developed by Prof Anna Robinson-Pant and Dr Anna Magyar and it is linked to the Compare writing mentoring programme for new academics, which has been running for over 10 years.

Through comparing published research articles with the theses on which they are based, we will identify how the authors have used their research data in order to:

  • speak to different audiences
  • contribute to academic 鈥榗onversations鈥�
  • meet different journal criteria.

During the workshop we will:

  • look at key features of academic research articles
  • discuss the process of developing a paper or papers, based on your thesis
  • look at the process of submitting a paper to peer-reviewed journals
  • discuss alternative ways of publishing/dissemination with a focus on the COMPARE podcast and storytelling.

The Roundtable discussion will comprise of a diverse group of academics who will respond to questions pertaining to Careers Within and Beyond Academia. We will conclude with Speed Mentoring and Socials where academics will offer mentoring in a more informal setting.

The 糖心传媒 ECR Day is open to all attending the 糖心传媒 conference and others who might not attend. It is free of charge, but places are limited and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis (for those whose applications meet the criteria).

ERICC Workshop

16:30 – 18:30, 2 September 2024聽
Room 115, Jubilee Building, University of Sussex

Applying the ERICC Conceptual Framework for Research in Education within Conflict and Protracted Crisis Contexts

Tejendra Pherali, Silvia Diazgranados Ferrans, Danni Falk, Olha Homonchuck

There is a significant lack of research on how children in conflict and crisis environments learn and develop, as well as what strategies effectively improve their learning and wellbeing outcomes. The body of evidence that exists is fragmented and siloed by disciplines. The critical scholarship in this field helpfully highlights the geopolitics of education aid, colonial legacies of education in conflict-affected settings and lack of appreciation around politics of education in protracted conflict and crisis settings. The research studies that focus on access and quality of learning often describe low education outcomes in terms of lack of technical solutions, but too often, do not acknowledge how competing goals and normative assumptions of key actors can hinder or enable implementation of cost-effective solutions.

Education Research in Conflict and Protracted Crisis (ERICC) Consortium is a multi-year, multi-country research consortium funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and is designed to expand and strengthen the evidence base for education in conflict-affected contexts. The ERICC conceptual framework serves as a tool for organising the existing body of research evidence in a coherent manner and for designing studies that help produce policy relevant and actionable research evidence that contribute to improving access, quality, and continuity of education and coherence among humanitarian, development, government, and civil society actors. The framework is underpinned by a political economy and system coherence thinking, including the importance of actors鈥� incentives, capacities and operations. These elements collectively contribute to social cohesion, peace with justice, economic prosperity and crisis preparedness and risk mitigation.

In this workshop, we will introduce the ERICC Conceptual Framework and invite participants to critically engage with the framework, reflecting on its relevance and application in their own work relating to education research, policy and practice in education in conflict and protracted crisis.
