Description:

We will begin with an introduction to the concept of trauma itself. We'll discuss the prevalence of trauma in society, including vicarious trauma and the impact this can have on researchers. We then introduce the principles of trauma-informed practice (developed in healthcare) and how this aligns with inclusive research design, particularly considering how experiences of discrimination and oppression can lead to trauma.

At the end of the first day, we will begin to focus on the How. We will provide advice, guidance and case study examples on how to design and carry out trauma informed research.
