This ECR-focused event brings together researchers in Medical and Health Humanities at Bournemouth from across the faculties of Health & Social Science, Media & Communication and Science & Technology, inviting them to highlight and address the main challenges of working within this varied and interdisciplinary field. It will feature an expert roundtable and open discussion, followed by breakout groups and opportunity for networking activity for ECRs.

Roundtable participants will be invited to speak for 5 minutes, drawing on their experience of research partnerships across disciplines. Suggested topics for speakers to address include, but are not limited to:

• Research and knowledge exchange in MH
• Publishing (choosing the right journal for MH research, collaborative writing)
• Bidding (where to bid, what for and how to construct productive teams and partnerships)
• How to work effectively together but also maintain a sense of disciplinary identity
• What experiences have participants had and how has this affected your research career to date?
• Imposter syndrome
• Work/life balance

ECR attendees will be invited to submit questions in advance, which will be put to the panel by a moderator/chair, before opening the floor to further discussion. In the second phase of the event, ECR attendees will be put into breakout rooms to discuss how their own practice might address these challenges, identify areas of future support they require and reflect on their professional identity as an interdisciplinary researcher in this field.

Attendees will be invited to write and submit their questions for the panel in advance of the session, sending them by email to: RKEDF@bournemouth.ac.uk
