This series of workshops uses skills drawn from creative writing practice to encourage participants to engage with their writing practice in 'extra-academic' ways to support the development of writing skills.

Participants will be supported to:

• explore ways to effectively communicate research to general audiences
• understand the relationship between their practice and their research
• build community and make connections with other writers
• explore new perspectives on their writing and research

Each month, we'll focus on a different theme, which we'll use to focus our creative practice, as we work to develop our writing towards our personal, academic, community, or career goals.

This workshop is designed specifically for researchers who are looking to develop their online presence and boost their career prospects through social media. There are now numerous channels available that can be used to amplify your research, promote an enterprising project and attract future employers. In addition, social networks can act as a valuable source of information and a personally tailored news feed. We will explore different types of content that researchers can experiment with. What engages people? What should you post and what should you avoid? How should you manage your time on social media and optimise your engagement? In addition to designing an individual social media strategy, the workshop will include a section on legal considerations, privacy and openness. The workshop is designed to cover a selection of mainstream social media tools that can be used to build your online profile.

Displaying information in a visual format is a excellent way for researchers to communicate their work. You can enhance your research papers, thesis, conference posters, presentations and public engagement activities with accurate and clear visual representations. This workshop is designed to introduce participants to various types of visual formats including standard graphs, information visualisations and graphics for publication.

There are a number of different ways to display your data or ideas visually and it depends on who you are aiming to engage and what you want to tell them. Building excellent graphics and summary figures takes time, practice and a willingness to learn the appropriate software. This workshop will provide an overview of information visualisation and further resources for participants to explore in their own time.

• why it happens, the key triggers
• what to do if you find yourself burnt-out
• what we can do to avoid it if you think you’re getting close
• how to put the necessary fail-safes in place so that it doesn’t happen to you

A simple phrase that signifies that we needed help/time/support/a lifeline: "my bucket is empty". It captures the constant pouring of ourselves into our work and projects. But we cannot pour from an empty bucket. And our buckets do empty.

In this webinar we explore:

• the many ways that we drain our bucket day-to-day
• the physical, the emotional, the mental, the social drains that we often don’t acknowledge
• the cost of trying to achieve and excel with an empty bucket
• key tools that help you fill that bucket – from the micro-changes that help you to keep going, to the bigger shifts that allow your bucket to truly fill
• finding your 'why' in order to drive meaningful changes
• setting your bottom line and protecting it

Procrastination is a way of easing our own discomfort. Discomfort because the task is too hard, too boring, too big, too scary. The difficulty with procrastinating is that it makes you feel better for a moment but it does nothing to fix the reason the task feels uncomfortable to begin with. It is still too big, too hard, too scary, or too boring the next time you sit down to do it. And so the cycle repeats.

In this webinar we discuss ways to:

• Identify these procrastination loops when they start to unfold
• Identify some of the thoughts underlying the discomfort and reframe them
• Employ alternative strategies that alleviate the discomfort and make the task less difficult, scary, hard or boring
• Explore drivers of our motivation

Academic life is a precarious one for many. Contracts are short-term, mobility is expected, and the future feels outside of our control. We are forever facing new challenges and constant change. Arguably, that is part of what we love most about academia. But over time, the uncertainty and instability of the situation can take a toll. Worry, doubt and fear can begin to settle in.

In this webinar, we will explore how to:

• give yourself permission (to be where you are and feel what you feel!)
• make micro-changes to maintain a solid emotional and mental foundation
• navigate uncertainty and worry
• recognise the controllable from the uncontrollable and learn where to spend your emotional and mental energy
• fill your bucket when life is constantly emptying it

Have you ever had the feeling that you're out of your depth and it's only a matter of time before you're found out? Don't worry, most of us have! While a certain amount of self-doubt is normal, and probably helpful, persistent imposter feelings of not being good enough or measuring up to others - despite evidence to the contrary - can hold us back from pursuing our goals and negatively impact our mental health. This two-part psychoeducational workshop will develop our understanding of imposter syndrome and help us begin to build our own toolkit to manage and overcome our imposter feelings.

Please note, while sessions are designed to be an interactive and safe space where participants may wish to share some of their own experiences, they are educational in format and not intended to be group therapy.

We all have an inner voice in our heads. It is an essential part of what makes us human and it is designed to help us navigate the world and to keep us safe. The problem is, in order to keep us safe it tends to focus on the negatives, the perceived threats, and all the possible ways that we might mess up, fall down, or embarrass ourselves.

In this webinar:

• we explore how our inner voice shapes our thoughts, our mood, our choices, and our productivity
• we address the critical inner voices that drive perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and self-doubt that sabotage our motivation and enjoyment for our work
• we learn how to rewrite that inner critic to a voice that allows for more mental space and energy to think, create, be present, and thrive

Being part of a multicultural organisation can be a rewarding experience; it is an opportunity to work closely with colleagues from diverse backgrounds and develop personal and professional growth. However, working with a team of genuinely different people also comes with several challenges.

Cultural and individual differences between us are often wrapped up with differences among organisations, industries, professions, and other groups. Furthermore, some of us have lived in other countries or have multicultural families, which adds complexity. Acknowledging the complexity of these challenges, this workshop engages with our important cultural differences, as an invitation to move past cultural stereotyping, and appreciate diversity as an essential part of a successful working environment.

Over the course of two participatory sessions, this workshop will help you to develop new insights about yourself and others and give you practical skills which will help you improve how you work in multicultural teams.

The University and most funding bodies require researchers who collect data as part of their work to write a Data Management Plan (DMP). These typically state what data will be created and how, and outline the plans for sharing and preservation, noting what is appropriate given the nature of the data and any restrictions that may need to be applied. The University of Glasgow recommends that researchers use DMPonline, a flexible web-based tool, to create DMPs.

The course will provide guidance on using DMPonline and an introduction to data management planning. You will have an opportunity to draft a DMP with support from instructors. This course is intended for researchers who are at a stage of their projects where they are ready to produce a Data Management Plan. It is recommended that you first complete the online training here.
