In our weekly Research Culture Uncovered conversations we are asking what is Research Culture and why does it matter? This episode is part of Season 1, where we get to meet the hosts in a bit more detail before they go on to host seasons on their specialist topic. In this episode we mix things up a bit and bring you the insights from one of our colleagues doing a lot of work on Research Culture across the sector. Your host Emma Spary is joined by Dr Elizabeth Adams.
Elizabeth Adams was previously at the University of Glasgow where she helped to establish the Lab for Academic Culture before branching out on her own with her company Scafell Coaching. You can connect to Elizabeth on Twitter (@researchdreams). Elizabeth is working with us at Leeds as a critical friend helping us to create our Research Culture Strategy.
I ask Elizabeth what she thinks the biggest challenges are for cultural change, what is happening across the sector, where she thinks we can improve and what she hopes to see in the future. Her main messages include:
Elizabeth also references a case-study we produced at Leeds on sharing interview questions in advance.
