Our final day was packed with creativity, critical insights, and candid reflections. We kicked off with dynamic workshops – Storying Stories explored the art of storytelling as a powerful research method, while Humans vs. Robots delved into audiovisual analysis through engaging TikTok examples.
The day continued with thought-provoking discussions on ethics and working with hardly researched communities, where DMRC researchers shared practical strategies for responsible data collection.
We closed with the insightful ‘What I Wish I Knew’ panel, where DMRC researchers and HDRs reflected on their PhD journeys, offering invaluable advice to delegates navigating their own research paths.
A huge thank you to all our speakers, facilitators, and participants for making this Summer School a vibrant space for learning and connection.
