Manage episode 354148890 series 3409585
In conversation with Dr Cecile Menard (University of Edinburgh). 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 our discussion covers:
- A research project interviewing long term researchers
- The three identities of long term researchers - 'The candidate', 'The accidental researcher', 'The career researcher'.
- The Sisyphus metaphor
- 'The current academic structure is ill adapted to contemporary research'.
