In our weekly Research Culture Uncovered conversations we are asking what is Research Culture and why does it matter? This episode is part of Season 3, hosted by Nick Sheppard who will be speaking to colleagues from both the University of Leeds and from other universities and organizations about open research, what it is, how it's practiced in different disciplines, and how it relates to research culture. In this episode Nick is joined by Dr Madeleine (Maddi) Pownall. Maddi is a lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of Leeds. She completed her PhD in 2022 in Social Psychology and is a Leeds Institute for Teaching Excellence (LITE) Fellow. She has contributed extensively to the Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training (FORRT) and was voted HE Psychology teacher of the year 2022. You can connect to Maddi via Twitter. Maddi talks about how she didn’t know a huge amount about open research when she started her PhD, and that the ‘replication crisis’ in Psychology meant she was having lots of conversations about reproducibility, open science and rigorous research practice. Now, as a teaching scholarship lecturer, open research is central to her work and she is particularly interested in how we can embed it in a pedagogical context. In this episode we talk about: what robust research looks like in social psychology and how it relates to other disciplines navigating open science as an early career feminist researcher – power, voice and inequalities what’s good for research and what that actually means for the people doing the research her work with the Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training (FORRT) community her research with FORRT exploring whether open research might actually impact student outcomes in any way the need for nuanced discussion around open research and whether it is always appropriate in a specific research context the Curriculum Redefined programme at Leeds and a goal to explicitly integrate open research into the curriculum the need for empirical evidence of potential impact of open research on student outcomes and her plans to design a research project to explore this nationally Be sure to check out the other episodes in this season!
