Ooh I'm going, #QRS2025 really whetted my appetite for this sort of thing

I’m going through my notes from the wonderful 2-day #QRS2025 and wanted to share some of my key takeaways - I’m so glad I attended this event so early in my PhD as I’m currently preparing for my first qual study and can now act on a lot of the advice and guidance shared in these sessions

We're overjoyed with how #QRS2025 went this week! Find out what you missed in our conference video, featuring keynote speakers @maddipow.bsky.social and Sarah Neal. @cqr-bath.bsky.social

This is just the beginning and we have so much more planned for our centre activities... If you attended #QRS2025 and would like to be added to our BlueSky attendee list, please DM us so we can facilitate even more discussion! bsky.app/profile/cqr-...

An extraordinary week spent discussing Openness, Transparency and Rigour at #QRS2025! Thank you to everyone for creating an incredibly inspiring, and friendly conference! Check out our great summary vid including our keynotes @maddipow.bsky.social and Sarah Neal 💪 What did you learn from QRS 2025?

Ah thank you for this. Enjoyed talking about this to everyone at #QRS2025

Was an honour to share my experiences of open research advocacy at #QRS2025. Giving a talk at an event I'm organising was a unique challenge, but the response I got to expressing my vulnerability and difficulties in this area was well worth it. Thanks to the warm reception all!@cqr-bath.bsky.social

Always a pleasure to hear more about @samuelfinnerty.bsky.social's excellent and prescient ethnographic work on scientist-activism at #QRS2025, super relevant insights for the evolving political climate...
@cqr-bath.bsky.social

So glad you had a good time at #QRS2025 @cathypsych.bsky.social! Thanks so much for coming and for sharing your insights here, this is just the beginning of the discussion! @cqr-bath.bsky.social

@annayahprosser.bsky.social @cqr-bath.bsky.social thank you for all your hard work putting together #QRS2025. It was my first academic conference and I learnt so much from it

Great speaking at #QRS2025 on the challenges around openness & transparency in ethnographic research. On my ethnography of scientist-activism with Scientists for XR @scientistsx.bsky.social
which inspired the following recent work:

An excellent symposium to end #QRS2025 with Clare Hawkes and Vibhor Mathur on navigating transparency in resource poor contexts. Incredible accounts and stories of ethnographic research and its complexities. Taking time to meet participants where they are and understand your role and positonality. 💪

Lovely talk by Juliette Ttofa on intuitive inquiry at #QRS2025. Love this quote: "When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we open the door to creativity. Creativity isn't always valued in the academy... but it is essential for discovering innovative ways of expressing ideas" (Behar, 2022).

Another great morning of presentations at #QRS2025 day two! A beautiful keynote from Prof. Sarah Neal exploring her use of poetry as qualitative rigour and “amplifying what is already there”. Incredibly moving work!

#QRS2025 Evangeline Gowie's presentation on her work to create a tool to help researchers find guidance around how and whether to share their data has the potential to be a game changer

The University of Bath campus has the library at its centre, with buildings named for their proximity & orientation relative to the library (e.g 1 South, 2 East).

I love this! (why is it not universal for all settlements that have a library) 📚

#QRS2025 Jasmine Parrott's talk on the difficulty of finding guidance on qualitative methodology in published research highlighted the need for openness and transparency around how researchers actually do their research, in order to educate the next generations

Presentation in lecture hall at conference

Insightful & thought provoking reflections from @annayahprosser.bsky.social on open (qualitative) research advocacy at #QRS2025 this morning

#QRS2025 interesting question from the floor, around whether qualitative data could/should be archived for use by future researchers, once the risk to participants is passed

#QRS2025 balancing openness and ethics is a continuous process to ensure both rigour and the safety of participants, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Or is there? Lots of questions arising from session by @samuelfinnerty.bsky.social

#QRS2025 fascinating talk from @annayahprosser.bsky.social about her lived experience of the replication crisis and the lack of guidelines around how to do open qualitative research

"Open science is not a new thing. People have been talking about how to reconcile scientific messiness and rigour for a long time"- @maddipow.bsky.social

#QRS2025 @cqr-bath.bsky.social

Waking up in Bath today for #QRS2025 to talk all things qual and open research

It’s so nice to explore my city of study, as I usually commute from Cardiff

Ohhh-- this is an interesting question. In general, I'm a big fan of transparency and open science. I think it creates more trust.

With qualitative data, I think transparency could be helpful, as long as it's anonymized and the participants are protected.

What's the discussion been at #QRS2025?

Loving the workshops at #QRS2025 :
1. Qual research clinics, where PhD students and ECRs move every 10 minute to a new table asking questions about #Qualresearch
2. Qual Research and AI delivered by Casual Map

Thank you @maddipow.bsky.social for an interesting and very important Keynote speech in Rigour and Vigour in Open Research! #QRS2025

Had a lovely time giving the keynote at #QRS2025! In it, I shared 3 big hot-takes:
1. Open science is not new (see: the work of feminist scholars for decades)
2. It is not open to all (see: bropen science)
3. Open science could be transformative for qualitative research

Very happy to have presented my research on desire in qualitative research at #QRS2025! 😁

Excellent keynote today from @maddipow.bsky.social - Everything she said made pure sense and even included a little history lesson in open science 🧬 (and bropen science 😂) There is more than one way to be scientific! 🧪 #QRS2025

Maddi Pownall presenting at QRS2025 in Bath

“Are these practices addressing things that we care about?”

Fantastic keynote from @maddipow.bsky.social at #QRS2025 just now questioning the orthodoxies of (br)open science & highlighting potentially fruitful ways forward.
