Time Management: secrets of an over-committed academic

Blog, Insight into researchBy Sue Fletcher-WatsonAugust 28, 2020

Recently on twitter I made the absolutely terrible mistake of claiming that I am good at time management. I am totally infuritated by the running gag that academics are busy because they are very bad at organising their time – in my view, the reason we are busy is because we have too much to…

What to do if you want to get into research

Blog, Insight into researchBy Sue Fletcher-WatsonJuly 17, 2020

I’d say about once a fortnight I get an email from someone who wants to get into research in some way.  They might have a good idea that they think would make a nice research project. They might specifically want to become a researcher themselves.  They might be working on something that could do with…

How to design a small research project

Blog, Insight into researchBy Sue Fletcher-WatsonJune 23, 2020

A common theme on this blog is an attempt to provide guidance on the things that, as academics, we are meant to know how to do, but on which we rarely receive any explicit training. For today’s June Blog I thought I’d write one of these posts, about designing a small research project. As people…

How to finish a project

Blog, Insight into researchBy Sue Fletcher-WatsonJune 16, 2020

It’s episode nine of my June Blogs and this time I want to write a companion piece to the last post, which was about how to start a project. Like a lot of stuff I post on here, I’m not talking so much here about the intellectual process, but more the pragmatic decisions and steps…

How to start a new project

Blog, Insight into researchBy Sue Fletcher-WatsonJune 12, 2020

Attentive followers (do I have any of those?) may have noticed I didn’t post a June Blog yesterday so today I’m aiming for a double bill to get back on track^. These are going to be checklists for starting, and ending projects. I’ve got a record, I’m afraid, of sharing my student supervision thoughts in…

Can I change my thesis research questions?

Blog, Insight into researchBy Sue Fletcher-WatsonJune 10, 2020

For today’s June Blog – the 8th so far – I wanted to write about something that I think is often quite hard for students writing up a final project dissertation or thesis. It also seems especially relevant now, in the midst of dramatic changes to research plans dsrupted by Covid-19. Namely… …is it ok…

Lessons from the Editorial Desk

Blog, Insight into researchBy Sue Fletcher-WatsonJune 8, 2020

Episode 6 in the June Blogs series aims to cast some light onto one mysterious aspect of academic publishing – the role of the editor. About a year ago I was approached by the editors of Autism: International Journal of Research and Practice to see if I would like to become an action editor for…

Diversity in Social Intelligence Videos

Library, Press, TalksBy Catherine CromptonFebruary 25, 2020

A video summarising our research has been created! You can watch the full version here.  We also have a short version of the video which discusses the methods, results and implications of our research. You can watch that here.   Transcriptions for both videos are available: For the full video: Word and PDF For the…

Nine Months of Saying No – an update

Blog, Insight into researchBy Sue Fletcher-WatsonFebruary 3, 20201 Comment

It’s been about nine months since my Year of No started, in May 2019, and I thought it was time to review progress. In fact, my intention had been to review progress at the half-way point – around November 2019. The fact that this blog is coming three months behind schedule probably tells you a…

Autism, Technology & Social interaction – BPS Developmental 2019

Library, TalksBy Sue Fletcher-WatsonSeptember 7, 2019

Maggi attended the British Psychological Society Cognitive & Developmental Section Joint Conference in Stoke-on-Trent in September 2019. She gave a talk about whether social play is different when autistic children play with digital and non-digital toys. The slides are available here, and the project website is here.
