Practical Support for Precarious Researchers with Ash Collins

EDIT: While the Reparative Rest programme that Ash and Élaina mention in this episode is funded by Wellcome, the scheme was created and implemented by the creative collective Studio Susegad.

Many marginalised members of staff in higher education, including disabled researchers, are employed on precarious contracts. This makes career progression difficult and often forces the industry to lose important talent. How can universities and funders intervene to make research more accessible and inclusive?

In this episode, Élaina Gauthier-Mamaril interviews Ash Collins, the Senior Project Manager - Rec Hurdle, Faculty of Financial & Business Services at the University of Nottingham. We discuss:

• The cost of excluding marginalised researchers for universities

• Concrete examples of how to re-design university processes to make them more accessible

• Concrete examples of how funders can proactively shape the research landscape
