Overview
Spend an evening with our part-time students as they present snapshots of their research-in-progress in a series of short, engaging talks.
Speakers
Join us to hear from the following part-time Wolfson students:
Steven Lloyd (MSt History) - Emotions and English Identity 2000-2015
Identity changes affect macro-political and economic transformations but are noticeable at a micro level where the experience of ordinary individuals or groups of individuals can lead to a better understanding of broader social attitudes. The dissertation will carry out case studies from Teesside in England that experienced the factors that have encouraged an increase in national identity throughout England influenced not only by political and cultural factors but also by collective emotions. My argument seeks to show by detailed analysis that these micro dynamic processes were part of a wider story that needs to be understood.
Charlotte Burdge (MPhil in Medical Science, Psychiatry) - Understanding Underserved Groups' Perspectives Towards the Use of Big Data in Children and Young People's Healthcare Research: A Systematic Literature Review
Digital technologies and AI could help identify mental health needs in children and young people (CYP) earlier, particularly benefiting underserved communities who face barriers in accessing healthcare, but success depends on building trust around the use of data for secondary research purposes. While research shows general support for the use of data for secondary research purposes, little is known about how underserved groups specifically view the use of data for CYP healthcare research. This systematic literature review will explore these perspectives, identify underrepresented communities in the existing literature, and document their concerns to guide more inclusive research approaches and meaningful engagement strategies.
Julia Wieczorek (MSt History) - Afterlives of Colonial Objects: East African Material Culture (1941-50) and the Memory of Empire in Britain'
My work is looking at how material culture plays an important role in shaping modern perspectives on British imperial history. I argue that objects are not mere static artefacts but rather active participants in a continuing negotiation of historical memory by combining an object-driven methodology with oral history testimonies.
