This episode we have the wonderful Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Hidson (Faculty of Education and Society, University of Sunderland) on the podcast to talk about her research and educational work training teachers from around the world. In talking about her paper (Developing a Research Culture with Trainee Teachers on International Initial Teacher Training Programmes). Liz expands on her desires to create a research culture within teaching practitioners. She also highlights the many challenges, differing perceptions and insights which come from working alongside trainee teachers and academics drawn from a myriad of international cultures and backgrounds. After this we move on to look at some forthcoming publications from Liz. In particular we discuss the benefits open access publishing brings in terms of increased readership and through reducing any financial barriers for readers outside of academia. We then talk about some of Liz’s own experiences in publishing, before closing with her advice for new authors to ‘find your tribe’ in terms of publishing and creating an effective research discourse.
