Hybrid: online and in Antwerp, Belgium
This first SOLiDi Training Workshop (WS1.1.) aims to convey and jointly elaborate the shared research problem and analytical framework that guides all individual PhD projects of the ESR fellows. It focuses on ‘solidarity’, ‘diversity’ and ‘intersectionality’.
The first (of four) workshops in this strand (STRAND 1 what?) has the aim to lay the groundwork for the common SOLiDi approach. In so doing, its goal is to (1) train ESRs in the solidarity in diversity perspective, (2) provide an introductory discussion to the ethics of solidarity, and (3) introduce intersectionality approach to sensitize ESRs to power asymmetries and social inequalities in solidarity practices and discourses.
By the end of the first training workshop, ESRs will be able to: (1) understand the shared research problem on solidarity in diversity and the analytical framework that guides all individual PhD projects; (2) acquire basic understanding of the core concepts in SOLiDi: solidarity, diversity and intersectionalist approach; (3) identify ethical challenges related to solidarity in diversity research; (4) meet and get to now other ESRs and scholars and form a mutually supportive learning community of early stage researchers, and (5) start reflecting on their own research questions and framework.
Due to COVID-19, instead of the planned four-day workshop in Antwerp, the first training workshop consists of an online (four workshop sessions organized over the course of September and October) and an offline part (2 days in Antwerp).
