Was an honour to share my experiences of open research advocacy at #QRS2025. Giving a talk at an event I'm organising was a unique challenge, but the response I got to expressing my vulnerability and difficulties in this area was well worth it. Thanks to the warm reception all!@cqr-bath.bsky.social

An excellent symposium to end #QRS2025 with Clare Hawkes and Vibhor Mathur on navigating transparency in resource poor contexts. Incredible accounts and stories of ethnographic research and its complexities. Taking time to meet participants where they are and understand your role and positonality. πŸ’ͺ

Great speaking at #QRS2025 on the challenges around openness & transparency in ethnographic research. On my ethnography of scientist-activism with Scientists for XR @scientistsx.bsky.social

Lovely talk by Juliette Ttofa on intuitive inquiry at #QRS2025. Love this quote: "When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we open the door to creativity. Creativity isn't always valued in the academy... but it is essential for discovering innovative ways of expressing ideas" (Behar, 2022).

Another great morning of presentations at #QRS2025 day two! A beautiful keynote from Prof. Sarah Neal exploring her use of poetry as qualitative rigour and β€œamplifying what is already there”. Incredibly moving work!

Waking up in Bath today for #QRS2025 to talk all things qual and open research

It’s so nice to explore my city of study, as I usually commute from Cardiff

#QRS2025 balancing openness and ethics is a continuous process to ensure both rigour and the safety of participants, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Or is there? Lots of questions arising from session by @samuelfinnerty.bsky.social

Loving the workshops at #QRS2025 :
1. Qual research clinics, where PhD students and ECRs move every 10 minute to a new table asking questions about #Qualresearch
2. Qual Research and AI delivered by Casual Map

Had a lovely time giving the keynote at #QRS2025! In it, I shared 3 big hot-takes:
1. Open science is not new (see: the work of feminist scholars for decades)
2. It is not open to all (see: bropen science)
3. Open science could be transformative for qualitative research
