WELCOME ADDRESS
Dear Delegates,
We are delighted to welcome you to “Empowering the PhD”, the inaugural conference for the Doctoral Academy. Organised by PhDs for PhDs, this unique one-day event aims to bring together the doctoral community at the University of Sheffield through shared experiences of the PhD itself. Today we offer researchers a range of opportunities to improve their skills, share their doctoral experiences, and learn about the exciting postgraduate research undertaken across the university. We hope that today will highlight the positivity and strength of our community, and provide some of the tools to empower you in your studies.
We wish you an inspiring conference, and welcome you to the wider doctoral community here at Sheffield.
The Organising Committee
Towards A Vibrant University-Wide Doctoral CommunityOur intention is that this conference helps you to connect with new people, share your experiences and enhance your learning and understanding. As the first conference of its kind at this University - a truly university-wide event led by PhD students for PhD students - it constitutes an experiment. We hope that you take something useful or thought-provoking away from the conference.
The Doctoral Academy intends to learn from the conference and build on it - we’re always interested in new ideas on how to strengthen your community so that there are further opportunities to facilitate PhD to PhD contact right across the boundaries of our disciplines - opportunities that you would find beneficial: [email protected]

Travis FU Early Development of the Chicken Hypothalamus
Gregg RAWLINGS Investigating The Effectiveness Of a Writing Intervention for Patients With Seizure Disorders: A Mixed Methods Approach
I was first motivated to help organise the Doctoral Academy Conference because my PhD is part of a multi- disciplinary collaboration between the School of Medicine, English and Psychology, and so I have experienced how beneficial cross discipline approaches to research can be for generating new knowledge.
Svenja TIMMINS Territorial Stigma and Youth: A Comparative Study of the United Kingdom and Germany
Rosie SHUTE My PhD research examines the various influences on the language of William Caxton’s printed texts in the fifteenth century.
I’m really excited to be part of the Doctoral Academy conference. I got involved so I could meet people from other faculties, and to design a conference that gave others the opportunity to do the same.
Neslihan ONDER OZDEMIR Turkish Writers in Pursuit of Scholarly Publications: Case Studies from the Discipline of Medicine As a PhD candidate in English Language and Linguistics, my motivation to join this awesome Doctoral Academy Conference team is to move forward with doctoral students to experience the power of team work and friendship across disciplines. I have really enjoyed being a part of this network and strongly recommend future collaborative activities to come together in the University of Sheffield.

GENERAL INFORMATION
ORAL SESSIONS
Our research panels bring together expertise from across faculties, and demonstrate the value of crossing disciplinary boundaries. We have five concurrent panels of oral presentations, representing the diverse range of academic interests within the doctoral community: Ethnography and Ethics, Researching the Everyday, Science of the Future, Accessible Healthcare, and PhD Life.
POSTER SESSIONS
Poster sessions will be held in the exhibition area in the Main Hall of the Octagon. Poster numbers are in the program book. Check the matching number on the board to display your poster in the right place. By request of Octagon staff, only velcro tabs are allowed to be used to mount posters; velcro tabs are available at the welcome desk.We ask that you stand by your poster during lunch time between 12:30 - 13:30.
LUNCH AND BREAKS
Lunch will be served as a buffet in the bar area of the Octagon. During breaks and poster sessions, refreshments will be available.
THE DOCTORAL ACADEMY
The Doctoral Academy is at the heart of the postgraduate community at the University of Sheffield. Postgraduate research is a life-changing experience: intellectually, professionally, and personally. At the Doctoral Academy, we support you throughout your research journey, providing free, personalised skills training and expert careers advice. Your ideas and experiences matter, and through today’s conference we aim to connect inspiring, collaborative groups of researchers across disciplines. Our vibrant PhD community makes Sheffield what it is and we are delighted that you could join us for the Doctoral Academy inaugural conference.
DOCTORAL ACADEMY ‘REPRESENT YOUR RESEARCH’ VIRAL VIDEO COMPETITION
The Doctoral Academy launched the second year of the #RepresentYourResearch video challenge. It is a competition for PGRs at the University of Sheffield to describe their research in an engaging and entertaining 1-2 minute video. The Doctoral Academy will present the winner of the challenge in the Main Hall of the Octagon at the end of day.
PECHAKUCHA 20X20
For the uninitiated, PechaKucha presentations are a fast-paced, exciting presentation format. Speakers have 20 slides that are displayed for 20 seconds each and advance automatically. Our Pecha Kucha session allows speakers to present a snapshot of their research in just over six minutes. Not to be missed!More information can be found on www.pechakucha.org
IMAGES OF RESEARCH COMPETITION
Images are displayed in the exhibition area in the Main Hall of the Octagon. There are two categories: ‘My Research Story’ and ‘The PhD Experience’. You are not required to stand by your image at any time during the conference.
POST-CONFERENCE SOCIAL WITH PGSOC
Following on from the conference, the Postgraduate Society (PGSoc) at the University of Sheffield will be holding a social event.Everyone from the conference is welcome to attend!

Nadine Muller is Senior Lecturer in English Literature and Cultural History at Liverpool John Moores University and has a PhD in English Literature from the University of Hull. Her research covers Victorian and neo-Victorian literature and culture, contemporary women’s fiction, and cultural histories of women, gender, and feminism from the nineteenth century through to the present day. She is currently completing a monograph on the literary and cultural history of the widow in Britain (Liverpool University Press, 2017).
Academia can provide an amazing career in which we are allowed to research subjects we love, topics about which we are passionate, and issues which – no matter how great or small – shape lives and tell us more about the world we all inhabit. But academia, like most professions, is no safe haven. It is fraught with destructive hierarchies, false notions of prestige, precarious working conditions, inconsistent approaches to postgraduates’ career development, and a harmful yet worryingly persistent perpetuation of problematic attitudes toward professional performance and personal wellbeing.Over recent years, much has been done to call attention to some of these issues and to share stories which demystify academia as well as dismantling how a successful academic should look and act. What I want to do in this keynote is not simply discuss the most prominent issues early-career researchers currently face in academia, but to think through the collective and individual responsibilities we, as a new academics, have in using our knowledge and experiences to effect change; change that can ensure the future of quality, open research by fostering healthy and skilled researchers.A grand task for a generation of academics defined by precarious employment and vexed by the fact that knowledge, in itself, is not a currency accepted by landlords or supermarkets. A grand task which, I’ll argue, is key to our own future as well as to that of our profession and the pursuit of knowledge that lies at its very heart.

ETHNOGRAPHY & ETHICSAn Exploration of Challenges within ‘Intimate Insider’ ResearchDawn Fletcher, Sociological StudiesWhilst novice researchers are cautioned about risks of ‘going native’, it often remains unacknowledged that ‘insider’ researchers are already native; the challenge is to become ‘outsider’ enough to successfully negotiate the researcher’s place in the research site and the difficulties of integrating existing commitments.Insider researchers discuss the importance of recognizing the researcher’s role as part of the data and suggest that such research necessitates some use of autoethnography, because of the way that researcher and researched become narratively connected. It is important to problematize this position, and as a member of, and participant in, my research site for a number of years, the key challenges are to: 1) Acknowledge and explore my place within the data; 2) Manage existing commitments along research; 3) Unlearn taken for granted beliefs and assumptions.This paper represents an attempt to explore these issues in depth, in early stages of formal ‘field work’.
Getting My Hands Dirty: Methodological Reflections on an In-Depth Ethnography of Two Community Supported Agriculture Projects in the UK
Ian Humphrey, GeographyI describe my 2-year ethnographic immersion in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) projects; I depict how I assisted in the execution and reproduction of each CSA project respectively as Treasurer, Member without Portfolio, and volunteer on the growing sites, and my broader contribution to each case study as a ‘scholar-advocate’.I reflect on the methodological ambiguities of Participant Observation including: the “insider/outsider” perspective and conflicts that arose in my dual role of ‘scholar-advocate’; the challenges of doing comparative research of two contrasting case studies; and the tension between being an authentic participant and doing effective research. I argue that ethnographic methodology is productive and insightful. However, it is also a messy and uneasy process that demands sustained reflexivity and constant (re-)negotiation of inter-personal subjectivities. I maintain that it is sufficient to be ‘a “good enough” researcher’ who is able to ‘accept rather than defend against healthy tensions in fieldwork’ (Luttrell, 2000:515).
Examining Historical Depictions of Acne in Advertisements using Ethnographic Content AnalysisKate Adkins, PsychologyEthnographic Content Analysis (ECA) is a form of qualitative analysis that applies principles of ethnography to media documents. ECA has been criticised for lacking rigor and clear guidance on analysis. A protocol was developed incorporating ECA, thematic analysis and social history to improve rigour and contextualisation. Data was collected from three women’s magazines (Cosmopolitan, Woman, Spare Rib), at 5 year intercepts (1972-2008). The protocol was used to collect and analyse 637 advertisements mentioning acne symptomology. Advertisements framed acne as a cosmetic issue. Thematic analysis supported the identification of four themes (perfect skin as an achievable ideal; acne myths; psychosocial implications; normalising acne). Content changed over time, reflecting changes in magazine technology, acne treatments, appearance ideals, and the position of women in society. The novel interdisciplinary approach provided a useful method for qualitatively exploring and systematically analysing the content and messages within historical media documents.

RESEARCHING THE EVERYDAYWalking Methods: Theory, Practice and PotentialMorag Rose, Urban Studies and PlanningMy research explores gender, public space and experiences of the city. My work is grounded in Feminist theory and psychogeographies and I am also interested in walking as a social, cultural and artistic act. Walking has great potential as a research method (see, for example, Pink 2009, Evans and Jones 2010, and Bridger, 2013). I am currently conducting a series of walking interviews with women in Manchester, England. As a technique this facilitates an informal, conversational tone. It also enables direct engagement with the environment we are discussing when I ask participants to show me around their city. In this talk I will share some of my fieldwork experiences, discussing the benefits and challenges of conducting walking interviews including ethical concerns and risk. I will also explore my wider artistic and activist practice which uses creative walking as a tool for community engagement, learning and teaching.
From Researching Women’s Perceptions of the Male Use of Pornography to Researching Women’s Experiences of Pornography in their Everyday Lives.
Academic and Practical Lessons Learned on Conducting Research on PornographyRuth Beresford, Sociological Studies
This presentation will outline my doctoral research on women’s experiences of pornography in their everyday lives. I will outline how I came to evolve my research out of my MA dissertation, and what lessons I have learned since starting my PhD. Vast amounts of research has been conducted into pornography from a variety of disciplines, though little research has addressed women’s everyday experiences of it. Initially I framed my research around women’s perceptions of the male use of pornography but as I have learned more I have reframed my research to address women’s experiences of pornography more broadly. I will reflect on these topical and academic lessons learned, but also the practical lessons learned when conducting research on pornography. I will discuss some of the experiences I have had when I tell people about my research (e.g. laughter, shock), and I how I have learnt to respond accordingly.
Educational Computer Games and their Impact on Mathematics Anxiety in Univer-sity StudentsMarc Bonne, Information SchoolEducational computer games have been shown to increase motivation to learn mathematics in university students, however little is known on how they impact on mathematics anxiety, a phenomenon known to reduce motivation to learn. This study aims to compare mathematics anxiety levels in University students before and after playing an online mathematics game. A literature review was carried out identifying the known causes, symptoms and strategies used to reduce mathematics anxiety. A systematic literature review was also developed comparing existing mathematics anxiety scales used in previous research, with one selected to use for the study. Finally, an exploratory usability study was performed to determine which of three games would be suitable for use in the pilot/main study, revealing that timers, reward systems, and feedback of games affect participant anxiety and confidence the most. The talk will also highlight the experience of conducting the research as a part-time PhD student.

SCIENCE OF THE FUTUREDeep Learning, the (b)END of History and the Last Computer ScientistErfan Loweimi, Computer ScienceArtificial Intelligence (AI) is among the key scientific achievements of the latter 20th century. Turing’s notions on the equivalence of computation and human thought, coupled with the exponentially increasing power of computers, made it natural to dream about computers with human cognitive capabilities. The first real success of AI came in the 1980’s, based on implementing Artificial Neural Network models inspired by brain neuroscience. However, despite the hype, results on even ‘simple’ tasks fell far short of human performance. Then, just in 2006, the game changed again. A new learning paradigm was discovered: Deep Learning. It is now used in almost all areas of AI and machines are now rapidly catching up with human performance. Deep Learning is turning science-fiction into science reality at a speed that is not yet fully appreciated. What will this mean for the future of computer science? Will the last computer scientist be a machine?
A New Self-Powered Implantable Device for Monitoring Bone HealingJulian Gosliga, Mechanical Engineering
There has been a lot of interest recently in implantable sensors which can check for disease and monitor how a patient is healing. While sensing technology can now be made on the micro-scale, the size and lifetime of medical devices is normally limited by the batteries they use. Self-powered devices, which generate electricity from the body’s own energy, may be the answer. This work focuses on a sensor to monitor bone healing. The three most important questions to see if a device would work are (a) how much energy is available in the body, (b) how much of this energy can be used, and (c) how much energy is needed to monitor healing and send a signal? By looking at movement, pressure and temperature inside the body, an estimate can be made of the energy available. This can then be compared with the energy required to power the device.
Computer Simulations of Star ClustersBecky Arnold, Physics and AstronomyMy PhD studies involve using computer simulations to study the evolution of young star clusters. The focus of my PhD is on pairs of closely neighbouring clusters, known as binary clusters. In my talk, I will briefly describe my simulations and the science behind them. Following this, I will explain some of the tools I have developed to analyse my simulations. Finally, I will discuss my transition from undergraduate to postgraduate studies, with a focus on the skills I developed during my degree and their application in my PhD.

ACCESSIBLE HEALTHCAREProfiling Access to Healthcare Facilities in Kano State, NigeriaFarouk Umar, GeographyAccess to healthcare is a concern for both policy makers and researchers in public health, geography, economics, and sociology. Geographers have focused on access to healthcare in terms of distances and/or travel times to facilities, diversity and the distribution of these services. However, proximity to healthcare services does not assure greater access due to cost and other socio-economic factors. The impedance caused by the barriers is worse for vulnerable groups, notably the unemployed, low-income groups, women, children and the elderly. Access to healthcare can be measured in terms of availability, accessibility, affordability and acceptability (4A’s of access). Kano State is characterised by dearth in the number of healthcare facilities and human resources for health which is compounded by urban bias. This research is focusing on improving access to healthcare in Kano State, Nigeria through modelling the distribution of healthcare facilities based on population needs with the use of Geographic Information Systems methods.
The Impact of Language and Culture on Talking Therapy for Pakistani, Somali and Yemeni Patients in Sheffield
Nahed Arafat, Languages and CulturesThis study is seeking to expand on the knowledge of the language and cultural issues facing Pakistani, Somali and Yemeni patients when they access talking therapy in Sheffield, in order to obtain better insight into their challenges and to enable patients’ voices to be heard. As a researcher, I have encountered many challenges: first with obtaining ethical approval from NHS research committee. Second, recruitment of GP practices, therapists and Patients and finally, the complexities involved in the methodological processes of researching in more than one language and their implications for research design, translation and reporting. By sharing these experiences with other researchers, I am hoping to raise awareness and understanding of the multiple challenges facing researchers in the field of Arts and Humanities and how research in these areas can contribute to the established corpus of medical knowledge which may eventually be of practical value for the different patients’ groups.
Conversation Analysis: Disagreement during Medical ConsultationsSarah Gelcich, EnglishDoctor-patient communication is inherently dependent on talk. One of the methodologies that has proven very useful in order to analyse this interaction is Conversation Analysis (CA). CA is a robust empirical methodology that looks at naturally occurring talk and provides evidence to help understand and ultimately optimise doctor-patient communication. This paper will focus on the use of conversation analysis as an effective way of determining how disagreement is managed and negotiated during type 2 Diabetes check-up consultations. This analysis has the potential to inform best practice in terms of recognizing and dealing with patient disagreement, as well as applying a qualitative linguistic methodology to healthcare research. Interdisciplinary research within health care does not come without its complications, particularly regarding the ethical challenges faced when designing the research project and seeking ethical approval. This paper will also reflect on the difficulties of undertaking doctoral research in medical humanities.

PhD LIFETwo Married Women, Numerous Children: “Mrs. Smith and Me”Val Derbyshire, EnglishIn 1794, Charlotte Smith (1749-1806) wrote The Banished Man. It was a novel which featured a semi-autobiographical figure in the form of romance writer, Mrs. Denzil. Within the text, Mrs. Denzil details the many difficulties she faces as a mother whilst simultaneously churning out romantic fiction in order to keep her numerous children; something which Smith knew all too well. Whilst I only have two children, their demands quite often come into conflict with the subject of my PhD: Smith herself. The pressures of research, compulsory lectures and events organised by my funding body (always scheduled during the school holidays for some reason) and the desire to lose myself in my research all prove impossible because of the many claims and petitions of children. Balancing both equally important obligations has become an art form, as it did for Smith. This paper will present a reflective narrative regarding my PhD experience with Mrs Smith; and how we both cope(d) as working mothers with many conflicting demands.
Butterflies in Your Stomach? Top Tips for Presenting at ConferencesLouisa Hill, Education
Most people including doctoral students, because of the fear of embarrassing themselves, do not like speaking in public. Yet disseminating research by presenting at a conference is an important aspect of academia. Improving presentation skills can reduce those ‘butterflies in your stomach’ caused by public speaking. However doctoral programmes and supervisors focus on facilitating the research journey, rather than teaching students how to give a speech. This talk aims to turn ‘rookie’ doctoral students to become Obama-like research presenters, by providing practical guidance and exercises that can be used in the future. Delivered by a current doctoral student, with substantial experience and positive feedback in relation to presenting to a variety of sizes and types of audiences, the talk will be interactive and encompass blended learning. The talk will examine the ingredients of a good presentation and illustrate these through a brief example.
Stretching the Time. Doing a Phd When You Are No Longer Free and SingleOlga Cam & Helen Mirfin-Boukouris, Management SchoolOlga Cam from Sheffield University Management SchoolThirteen years after finishing University and a family later Olga has started her PhD. This fantastic new opportunity came packaged as a university lecturing job with a PhD attached to it. Great! So now with her responsibilities to her family of three school aged kids, a husband, cats, fish, house clubs and teaching there also sits the PhD!Helen Mirfin-Boukouris from Sheffield University Management SchoolFive years after completing her MBA Helen’s family are slowly coming to terms with the fact that she has started studying again. This time it’s the harder stuff though, it’s a PHD. The pressure is on. With one son an undergrad at Sheffield not only must she combine study with being a City Councillor, looking after children, husband, dog, cats & fish, she must never be seen in the same part of the Uni as her 19 years old.Together Olga and Helen would like to share their experience and coping strategies so far and hope to hear from fellow students advice and tips that one does not find in the PhD self-help books currently available.

WORKSHOPS
How to Make the Most of Academic Reading Groups Beth Kamunge, GeographyA key feature of many Postgraduate Research (PGR) student’s journey is joining or forming a reading group. The purpose of this participatory workshop, will be to reflect on their purpose, value addition (or lack thereof) in the PhD journey, and to exchange tips, knowledge and ideas on what makes a ‘good’ effective group. Specifically, the workshop will be framed around 3 questions namely:What are the benefits and challenges of being part of an academic reading group?What reading strategies are the most effective when doing the reading in preparation for upcoming meeting?What are some of the Best Practices in running an actual reading group session?The workshop will involve facilitated discussions via group work (small groups of 5 people each) and plenary feedback around the 3 questions above. This workshop will therefore be of interest to PGR students already in a reading group and seeking to be more effective, or to students thinking about joining or forming a reading group.
Effective Communication in Public PresentationsKirsty Surgery, EnglishThis workshop will aim to improve the way that participants present their work through developing effective use of the voice and the body. Even the most insightful and well-written presentations can be difficult to follow if the speaker does not engage their audience and speak effectively. This workshop will include practical activities to help develop clarity of vocal projection, as well as exercises that will encourage participants to consider how they can modify their pitch, pace and volume to improve their audience’s understanding of the content of their presentation. We will also spend some time in the workshop exploring how gesture and posture affect audience responses. These activities will be undertaken in a supportive learning environment, which will aim to give participants confidence to develop these skills.
Leadership: The Sheffield WayPhil Wallace & Jane Ginniver, UoS Leadership and Management DevelopmentOur complex and networked world requires a new type of leadership. A collective, collaborative approach to leadership is taking ground from the traditional ‘great hero’ individualistic paradigm. This workshop is an interactive introduction to improving your leadership effectiveness in your current stage and your future career. The workshop will be facilitated by members of the University’s Leadership and Management Development Team (based in Human Resources) who, over the past four years, have been delivering the University’s leadership development offer - ‘the Sheffield Leader’ - to over 700 staff from all areas and roles across our institution.

WORKSHOPS
PhD Wellbeing: In Search of a Work Life BalanceSteve Delaney, UoS Counselling ServicesThis one hour experiential workshop offers an opportunity to share your experiences and learn from your peers about how to manage the stresses involved in doing a PhD. The workshop will help you to clarify skills and behaviours that support a healthy work life balance. There will also be an opportunity to think about how to deal with the unrealistic expectations of others. Steve Delaney will be facilitating this workshop. Steve works as a psychotherapist at the counselling service at the University of Sheffield. He has over twenty five years’ experience working therapeutically with individuals and groups in education, the NHS and private practice.
Social Media for Doctoral Researchers: Communicating your Research beyond Higher EducationJennifer Jones, The University of the West of ScotlandThis workshop explores the strategic context for social media in Higher Education. It will begin with a brief history of the emergence use of social media within a higher education context, exploring the common myths, opportunities and challenges of utilizing online media as an early careers researcher. It will then cover case studies developed by the visiting researcher in which social media has been used in her own research, from writing, research and external communication activities through blogging, multimedia (video and audio) and social networking sites. Although primarily information giving, this session will also be interactive and permit dialogues to develop and practical advice to be shared.
Understanding the Learning Self: A Pathway to a Successful Academic Advising for a Positive Student-Advisor RelationshipDoreen Said Pace & Dr. Colin Calleja, Education21st century education is based on the principle of social justice. This supports the idea that learners are unique and likewise is their learning experience.This presentation seeks to propose an advanced learning theory, the Let Me Learn Process (LMLp) as a paradigm to explain the Brain-Mind connection that help us understand how learning occurs and how we make sense of the world. Through this presentation we invite participants to use this understanding to recognize how this impacts the student and advisor working relationship for a more meaningful academic learning experience.The presenters hope to help participants to see how feedback given by an adviser can be customised to the learning profile of the student. It also seeks to present an opportunity to the students to strategize to help translate an adviser’s feedback to fit their own learning preference.This presentation therefore hopes to empower both advisor and student to forge, intensify or tether their own learning Pattern combination to suit the learning demands of the task.
