​In diesem Workshop werden die Grundlagen des Aufbaus sowie einer überzeugenden inhaltlichen Konzeption und Gestaltung von wissenschaftlichen Postern besprochen (z. B. Schrift- und Textgestaltung, Verhältnis von Bildern und Text, Farbgestaltung). Neben klassischen Herangehensweisen zur Postergestaltung, werden auch neuartige Designtechniken (z.B. Bilderstellung mittels KI) vorgestellt.

Der Workshop bietet darüber hinaus die Gelegenheit, eigene Inhalte in Form eines Posters vorzubereiten oder bestehende zu optimieren.

The study of mobile childhoods - from the perspective of children themselves - entails manifold challenges. First of all, it asks for methods appropriate for the study with children more generally. Researchers can draw from a rich discussion on the matter, offering a large repertoire of approaches to collect data from children, on children and with children. In addition to this, children’s mobility refers to their self-positioning in more than one locality.  Researchers are challenged to find methods to grasp the meanings of those multiple localities/cultures and related transnational or translocal spaces for children. Here, yet another set of methodological considerations comes into play, for example: how can the tacit and implicit knowledges about spaces (e.g. their emotional components) be grasped? How can social stigmatization, which is oftentimes connected to mobile children’s vulnerabilities, be dealt with methodologically and analytically (e.g. children’s “silence”)?

In this workshop, two projects on mobile childhoods will be presented by two international researchers: Xiaorong Gu with a study on rural-urban migrant children in China and Elizer Jay de los Reyes with a study on “left-behind” children in the Philippines, who grow up in transnational families. Both researchers will present their data collection instruments and analytical strategies and give examples of their empirical data to identify the particular benefits as well as challenges of their approaches.

The workshop organizers and speakers will be happy to receive applications from

• students who wish to conduct research on a related topic for their (BA or MA)-thesis
• faculty staff involved or interested in research on childhood, family, mobility and transnationality
• students and colleagues with an interest in qualitative research methodology

The Speakers

Dr. Xiaorong Gu, University of Suffolk, UK:  Xiaorong is Lecturer in Childhood Studies at University of Suffolk (UK). Prior to this, she held several research positions with Asia Research Institute of National University of Singapore and on the “Doing Intimacy” Project at SOAS, University of London. She is a sociologist of children and youths, writing about their migration and mobilities, education, socio-emotions, relations and their social positioning vis-à-vis family, educational institutions and the nation-state. Her area focus is on contemporary China, from a comparative-Asia perspective. She guest-edited the special issue on The Value of Children and Social Transformations in Asia with Child Indicators Research (2021) and the special monograph on The Value of Children in The Global South: A Critical Engagement with Current Sociology (2022). Her research article – “‘Save the children!’: Governing Left-behind Children through Family in China's Great Migration” – has been shortlisted for the Annual SAGE Current Sociology Best Paper Prize in 2022. In this workshop, she will draw empirical and methodological insights from a longitudinal mixed-methods project on China’s children of rural-urban migrants to illustrate the possibilities, challenges and strategies to tackle issues from multiple angles.

Dr. Elizer Jay de los Reyes is a Lecturer at the Southampton Education School of the University of Southampton, UK. His work examines the impact of mobilities of labour and risks on the educational experiences of learners and higher education academics. Jay investigates how the emigration of rural women from the northern Philippines shape their left-behind children’s imagination of possible futures. He was previously a Postdoctoral Fellow and an NUS Fellow (Southeast Asia) at the Department of Communications and New Media, National University of Singapore. For this workshop, he will be sharing methodological reflections on his work with migrant women and left-behind children in the Philippines, and primary school pupils in the United Kingdom.

Im kommenden Februar bietet das IZfB wieder einen Schreibworkshop in der katholischen Akademie "Die Wolfsburg" in Mülheim an der Ruhr an. Ziel ist es dabei, die Mitglieder des IZfB bei der Erstellung von Publikationen, Dissertationen oder Forschungsanträgen zu unterstützen. Dazu werden in einem Tagungshaus in der Nähe von Essen ein Raum mit einer ruhigen Arbeitsatmosphäre und die dazugehörige Infrastruktur zur Verfügung gestellt, um konzentriert an zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Tagen ausschließlich an den eigenen Publikationen oder Anträgen arbeiten zu können. Die Kosten für eine Übernachtung vor Ort sowie die Verpflegung werden vom IZfB getragen. Die Unterbringung der Promovierenden erfolgt in Doppelzimmern.

Diese Werkstatt bietet die Möglichkeit projektspezifische Fragen und Probleme, die bei der Nutzung von MAXQDA auftreten, zu klären. Sie können Ihre eigenen Daten zu der Werkstatt mitbringen. Da möglicherweise auch ein gesamtes Team oder Projektgruppe eine Frage hat, besteht die Möglichkeit, neben den maximal drei aktiven Plätzen (mit Fragen) auch einige passive Plätze (nur zuhören) z. B. für weitere Projektbeteiligte anzubieten. 

Die MAXQDA-Werkstatt als persönliches Beratungsangebot steht ausschließlich Mitgliedern des IZfB und des dokFORUM zur Verfügung.

Nächster Termin 16.01.2024, 13:00 Uhr 

Weitere Termine in Planung.
