Alexander Vaniev
Jessica Benson-Egglenton is a Research Fellow at Sheffield Hallam University whose research experience spans small-scale qualit ative studies through to large experimental trials . Her research examines educational inequalities\, particularly access to higher education\, and how intersections of class\, gender and race shape st udents' experiences and subjectivities. This acade mic focus builds on extensive experience in wideni ng participation evaluation roles across several H E institutions. Her doctoral research uses Foucaul dian discourse theory\, critical approaches to edu cation policy analysis\, and narrative methods to explore how young women from white\, working-class families understand and narrate their journeys to becoming university students.
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n \n \n \n This session is part of Newer Researcher Work in Progress Webinar series. These sessions are open and free for all to attend. SRHE aims to provide a platform to present the most st imulating and innovative research taking place in higher education studies and practice. The Newer R esearcher Network recognises the body of exciting research being undertaken by newer and early caree r researchers and seeks to create a supportive spa ce in which such researchers can present their wor k-in-progress\, receive feedback\, and develop con nections with national and international peers. Qu estions and feedback from attendees are warmly wel comed. We aim for this to be a constructive space for work in progress. \n \n \n \n Schedule \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 13:00 – 13:05\n \n \n \n \n SRHE welcome & housekeeping\n \n \n \n Introduction and overview of the session\n \ n \n \n \n \n \n \n 13:05 – 13:30\n \ n \n \n \n Alexander Vaniev: It takes a v illage… and what the village is made of: Mapping s ociomaterial practices contributing to early caree r academic teaching development\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 13:30 – 13:55\n \n \n \n \ n Jess Benson-Egglenton: Narratives of the jour ney to higher education for white\, working-class young women\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 13 :55 – 14:00\n \n \n \n \n Summary & close \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Speaker Bios\n \n \n \n Alexander Vaniev (Sasha)\, AFHEA\, is a doc toral researcher in higher education in the School of Education at the University of Glasgow\, neari ng the completion of his PhD. His research examine s how UK early-career academics learn to teach\, w ith a particular focus on how people\, policies\, technologies\, concepts\, and spaces come together to shape early lectureship experiences. Drawing o n actor-network theory and visual network analysis \, he develops graph-based visual maps of academic practice that make visible the often hidden relat ionships\, pressures\, and support mechanisms invo lved in becoming a university teacher. His longitu dinal study with lecturers across two different UK universities highlights that “it takes a village” – e.g. colleagues\, PGCert peers\, students\, and academic developers – but also “what the village is made of” – e.g. learning technologies\, teachin g materials\, learning spaces\, and expectations o f PGCert – to foster competent\, confident\, and w ell-supported junior faculty. More broadly\, his w ork argues for relational approaches to pedagogy a nd more inclusive institutional policies to suppor t early-career academic development in the UK high er education.\n \n \n \n Jessica Benson-Egglenton is a Research Fellow at Sheffield Hallam Universit y whose research experience spans small-scale qual itative studies through to large experimental tria ls.
