New #AcademicYear - New #introduction

I am interested in health-related quality of life
#HRQL #Psychometrics

I teach #ResearchMethods modules in the #DundeeUni #ProfDoc
#Interdisciplinary #RD62001 #RD62002

I convene our School's #ResearchEthics committee

My terms as academic editor of 'Quality of Life Research' come to an end, and I am mulling over roles and sense in #AcademicPublishing
#NightshiftEditor

There may be some occasional #Deutsch #Svenska #Gaidhlig and local stuff in my feed.

Suggestion for a #WeekendRead from discussions in my #ProfDoc module on #ResearchMethodology.

We came on how #Menschenbilder influence one's ontological and epistemological assumptions, and here is a nice introductory read into the topic:

New academic year - new #introduction

I am interested in health-related quality of life
#HRQL #Psychometrics
and my account mainly reflects what I work on, e.g. also

#ResearchMethods modules in the #DundeeUni #ProfDoc
#Interdisciplinary #RD62001 #RD62002

I convene our school's #ResearchEthics committee

My role as academic editor of 'Quality of Life Research' is coming to an end, and I am mulling over whether I am looking for a new role in #AcademicPublishing replacing it
#NightshiftEditor

I maintain that #Wellbeing is a largely useless term to guide research as it is far too broad to define any scope of inquiry or to help to review & collate empirical findings or conceptual developments. The most common confusion in my area is that one person is talking about income (potential) or other fungible social resources, while the other person means eudaimonia.

I am looking forward to discussing #ResearchEthics at our coffee morning for postgraduate research students.

Earlier this year the #UKRIOChallenge made me aware of the Dilemma Game App by Erasmus University Rotterdam, which we will use as a conversation starter:

And a good opportunity to contextualise research ethics processes within this cheeky back-of-the-envelope classification of levels of reflection 👇
