Abstract

This interactive workshop is designed for pre- and postgraduate students, supervisors and examiners of doctoral studies, also post-doctoral researchers interested in further developing and publicising their work. It invites participants to consider specifically the theoretical/epistemological underpinnings of their research: how these came about, how they are put to work in their individual projects and what the implications might be regarding the contribution of theory and theorising in social life. The primary objective of the workshop is to bring together present and potential doctoral students, experienced researchers and anyone interested in educational theory and theorising to facilitate dialogue and interaction on this oftentimes 'slippery‘ element of the research process. In the course of the day we will also demonstrate various methods for generating dialogue about theory, that both acknowledge prior knowledge and nurture new ideas and understandings.

Bibliographical note

Note: An invited workshop organised and funded by SRHE and Glasgow Caledonian University in response to demand from colleagues in Scotland, following a similar event in London in November 2014

Impact: Generation of educational research communities at national and international level. Building capacity in educational research for recognising the role of theory and theorising in practice, its relationship to pedagogy and the contribution of educational research in higher education (specifically postgraduate and post doctoral research) to knowledge generation in response to rapid geopolitical change, towards the greater good of society.
