(S2E2) ‘Our expertise is going to waste!’ Reflections on dis/engagement of women and students from marginalised groups in research activity

In conversation with Professor Louise Owusu-Kwarteng (https://twitter.com/louisekwarteng): In our weekly Research Culture Uncovered conversations we are asking what is Research Culture and why does it matter? In Season 2, we are in conversation with a number of presenters from the Researcher Education and Development Scholarship International Conference of 2022. In this episode we cover three key questions: How do we redress the balance to ensure that there is equality in terms of opportunities for research? Do we need to re look at what counts as an ‘expert’ in HE? And also re consider what is seen as ‘valuable’ work in this context?With regards to students from marginalised groups – how do we reframe the narratives which assume their ‘underattainment’?  Do initiatives aimed at addressing the attainment ‘issue’ need to go wider and include opportunities for research? <br/>Be sure to check out all the episodes in this season!Links:Researcher Education and Development Scholarship ConferenceResearcher Development and Culture WebsiteOur Concordat Implementation plans and progressUniversity of Leeds Research Culture StatementUniversity of Leeds Responsible Metrics StatementUniversity of Leeds Open Research Statement<br/>Follow us on twitter: @ResDevLeeds, @OpenResLeeds, @ResCultureLeedsIf you would like to contribute to a podcast episode get in touch: academicdev@leeds.ac.uk
