In our Research Culture Uncovered conversations we are asking what is Research Culture and why does it matter? In this episode Dr Emma Spary talks to Dr Karen Hinxman about her new role as the Head of the White Rose University Consortium. Karen shares her extensive background in academia and research development, her transition to her current role, and the consortium's mission to enable people to thrive across the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield, and York. We discuss the consortium's focus areas, including career development, fostering communities, research culture, celebrating successes, and leading impactful projects. Karen outlines various initiatives like the Equity Leadership Program, the Prosper Cohort, and the Crucible Program, all designed to support diverse, interdisciplinary collaboration and career progression.
