Hopes and Hiccups in the participatory research journeys of doctoral researchers This series of podcasts emanates from a project which has been exploring the experiences of postgraduate researcher (or PGRs) communities across the university in relation specifically to participatory research. As part of our three part podcast series, the project team is joined by a small group of postgraduate researchers who have experience or an interest in participatory research.  In this episode, we’re focused on a call to action and what we can collectively do to ensure we support and embed participatory research into our research cultures, with and for PGRs.

Why does the Western countries' response to Russia come short of stopping the war in Ukraine? How did the UK, a leading country in response to Russia, fare so far in the conflict? Dr Baris Celik presents a two-episode podcast series exploring Russia’s war in Ukraine. Are there any forms of international cooperation that are more likely to stop the war? What do the non-Western countries think of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? What kinds of warfare methods does Russia use in Ukraine? Episode two features Dr Greg Stiles who unpacks the challenges of international cooperation for resolving the conflict in Ukraine, as well as non-Western perspectives on the conflict, and Gabriel Evans who helps us explore the new ways of warfare as observed in Russia’s war in Ukraine. Dr Baris Celik closes the podcast with reflections on possibilities for peace in Ukraine.
