“Reconstituting our stories so that they help us move in the direction we want to go is a process of choice and intentional sense-making.” What is your story? We often get stuck with old stories and it’s worth redefining our intentions as we move ahead. hbr.org/2018/08/to-mak…

@sruthi_phd on Actors and Factors influencing the design of play provision in high-rise housing in India. It has to look good for the brochure, despite India’s building code calling 4 access to natural, stimulating play features they all look the same: kfc #ipaglasgow2023

Here are my notes on ethics from GCYFRG (RGS-IBG) webinar on 'Renewed Qs of Ethics in Research with and for Children and Young People’: (1/4). Think about #ethics as #inclusion and about being fair to those involved - this includes yourself as a researcher Children's Geographies Prof. Sophie Hadfield-Hill

(2/4). Approach 'ethics' as a conversation. It is about staying authentic. This means, it boils down to 'trust' and 'respect'. Take #consent before audio/video recording anyone - even if it's work meetings; a simple verbal consent will do too. Prof. Sophie Hadfield-Hill Children's Geographies

(3/4). Inform your co-researchers and participants that, "there are limits to #confidentiality" - Prof. Sophie Hadfield-Hill This is extremely important given the current era of #socialmedia and #digitaltech Children's Geographies

(4/4). In the #SocialSciences there are still many grey areas of conducting research - esp. when review boards in the West review proposals designed for working in the #GlobalSouth - This is an ongoing conversation that needs more unpacking. Prof. Sophie Hadfield-Hill Children's Geographies
