SUMMARY:Block II: Societal impacts and conflict sensitivity for researchers
 : What does my research have to do with society?
DESCRIPTION:Academic research and the social sciences in particular have re
 cently  started to consider  their own impact in more systematic ways. Thi
 s has  led to a shift in the perception of  research impact\, which is now
   increasingly taking into account societal impacts that go  beyond ‘a  
 contribution to the academic debate’ or ‘publications in peer-reviewed
   academic  journals’. Accordingly\, questions formerly reserved for  tr
 ans-disciplinary research have  become relevant for a broader stratum  of 
 academic research. In conflict-affected contexts\, this  reconsideration h
 as also led researchers to more strongly consider the  impact of their res
 earch on societal conflicts\, possible unintended  consequences\, and asso
 ciated ethical dilemmas. At the same time\, this  greater attention toward
 s societal impacts as a benchmark for 'good  science' is not without its c
 riticisms - stemming among others\, from  critical policy studies\, anthro
 pology of policy\, or science and  technology studies.This workshop for Ph
 D students takes up these  considerations and aims to spark debate on and 
 provide practical  answers to the following questions:-        How can I c
 onceptualise the societal impact of my research?-        How conflict-sens
 itive is my research\, and how conflict-sensitive should it be?-         W
 hat are practical strategies and considerations to strengthen  positive so
 cietal impacts and to deal with unintended (negative)  consequences?This w
 orkshop will feature some conceptual readings  and discussions\, but more 
 importantly\, we will directly work with  participants' actual research pr
 ojects. Participants will thus be  required to present their own research 
 project\, and get the opportunity  to collaboratively develop strategies t
 o the actual problems they face  in their projects.\\r\\nThe second block

X-ALT-DESC:Academic research and the social sciences in particular have rec
 ently  started to consider  their own impact in more systematic ways. This
  has  led to a shift in the perception of  research impact\, which is now 
  increasingly taking into account societal impacts that go  beyond ‘a  c
 ontribution to the academic debate’ or ‘publications in peer-reviewed 
  academic  journals’. Accordingly\, questions formerly reserved for  tra
 ns-disciplinary research have  become relevant for a broader stratum  of a
 cademic research. In conflict-affected contexts\, this  reconsideration ha
 s also led researchers to more strongly consider the  impact of their rese
 arch on societal conflicts\, possible unintended  consequences\, and assoc
 iated ethical dilemmas. At the same time\, this  greater attention towards
  societal impacts as a benchmark for 'good  science' is not without its cr
 iticisms - stemming among others\, from  critical policy studies\, anthrop
 ology of policy\, or science and  technology studies.<br /><br />This work
 shop for PhD students takes up these  considerations and aims to spark deb
 ate on and provide practical  answers to the following questions:<br />-  
       How can I conceptualise the societal impact of my research?<br />-  
       How conflict-sensitive is my research\, and how conflict-sensitive s
 hould it be?<br />-         What are practical strategies and consideratio
 ns to strengthen  positive societal impacts and to deal with unintended (n
 egative)  consequences?<br /><br />This workshop will feature some concept
 ual readings  and discussions\, but more importantly\, we will directly wo
 rk with  participants' actual research projects. Participants will thus be
   required to present their own research project\, and get the opportunity
   to collaboratively develop strategies to the actual problems they face  
 in their projects.\nThe second block is taking place on the 14th and 15th 
 of december from 9:15-17:00.\nFurther information: <a title="Opens interna
