Inception Meetings / Jun/Jul/Aug 2019
Space for Engagement and Epistemic Diversity (SEED) is an initiative of the InfUr Hub to allow a safe space for phd students and early-career researchers (ECR) to engage and learn from each other. The discussions revolve around the complexities and contradictions we encounter in academic research and how often there is no place to have a candid discussion about some of these issues without upsetting the academic status quo. SEED seeks to give you that space where you can chat about all things research, informally.
SEED was born in the conversations between phd students and ECRs who realised the presence of difference amongst epistemic positions and what research itself means. SEED gave an identity to that initial intensity and the first meetings in Jun/Jul/ Aug slowly was formalized into a monthly session that spans from presentations by SEED members to invited guests as well as open-platform discussions.
