Networks and Workshops

This page documents the Networks and Workshops that are funded by small grants I have won:

2022: Royal Astronomical Society Meeting Grant with Divya M. Persaud for Space Science in Context 2022. You can follow us on twitter: @SSiC_Tweets.

2022: femini(sts) - zine with kate heffner. Read our call for contributions to the first issue here.

2021: University of Delaware Anti-Racist Initiative with Kopo Oromeng to run Unearthing the Collection: Anti-Racist Science Communication in the Mineralogical Museum

2021: University of Delaware Cultural Activities and Public Events Fund with Julie Klinger to run Riot Strrrs: Resistance, revolution, and radical zines of Outer Space

2020: UCL Researcher-led Initiative Award with Divya M. Persaud to run the Space Science in Context 2020 Conference

2020: UCL Researcher-led Initiative Award with Rebecca Martin to run Creating Academic Outputs, a course where we invited three field leading researchers to lead workshops on transforming thesis writing and research into other pieces of work (available to UCL researchers only).

2020: The Technisches Museum Wien sponsored Dr. Sophie Gerber and myself to co-run the workshop Outer Edge: Queer(y)ing STEM Collections. The workshop was recorded in a zine by Kathrin Gusenbauer, and you can view the zine here

2019: UCL Grand Challenges Doctoral Students' Small Grants with Eva Sprecher to run Zine but not heard? This project investigated how to share research beyond academic audiences, particularly looking at inclusive practice for care-experienced young people and their families in museums and galleries. The output was a zine and an activity version of the zine for museum workers. We talked to Vocal at the University of Manchester about how we came to developing this, and you can see our slides here. You can read more about this project on our archived website.

2019: UCL Doctoral School Researcher Networks and Academic Societies Fund with Eva Sprecher to run Fresh Voices, a MOOC on participatory action research. We hosted three lectures, and four workshops to support learners in developing participatory research practice. You can see these all on the website; and workshop is documented in, and supported by a reflection zine by Sean Curran which you can view here.

2018: British Society for the History of Science with Damien Arness Dalton to run Queering the Science Museum. I reviewed this project for their magazine Viewpoint in 2019.

2018: UCL Train and Engage supported my Behind the Glass Cabinet podcasts, which explored untold stories behind objects in London museums that tackled how representations of science and technologies often only tell partial stories.

Opportunities that are open to participate in these workshops, networks and research projects are posted below.
