Here's The Real Story: Transparent Discussion about Struggles that Underlie Successful Research

Fri, April 10, 11:45am to 1:15pm PDT (11:45am to 1:15pm PDT), Westin Bonaventure, Floor: Lobby Level, Beaudry B

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

Our field applauds high-impact papers and clear findings. Yet focusing on polished scholarly output may result in junior scholars not seeing struggles and challenges as normal parts of the research process. This session will bring together junior, mid-career, and senior scholars to present flash talks about (a) an impactful research finding they published and (b) one major challenge they experienced en route to publishing (e.g., school partner issues, analyses not working as expected, mistakes/errors, health issues). Attendees will together discuss the implications of hiding challenges that underlie research, the structural and mentoring supports that can help students normalize and address challenges, and how we as a field should train students to think about challenges.
