School of Social and Political Science

Description

Janak Howards is a 2nd year PHD student at Cardiff University. His field (broadly) is Relationships and Sex Education, and Faith and Worldviews, specifically in primary schools and is am currently working with Arts Based Research methods.
Janak has a background in education, primarily as a teaching assistant, occasional supply teacher and 1 to 1 SEN support staff. Most of his research, starting with his master’s project, has developed from experiences working in schools in Birmingham, running after school clubs and summer activity groups.

Janak's presentation will focus primarily on the arts based, creative research project he is currently planning, the socio-political context behind it, the ontological and epistemological background and what led him to developing the ideas and methods for this project.

Janak will also give a brief overview of my Masters research project which led to the development of my PHD research and sets up a lot of the context for this research despite having very different research method.

This session will take place on Zoom. A link will be emailed out to attendees closer to the session.
