A Roundtable is an opportunity for a small group of people to discuss a specific topic. Each participant shares their input and all contribute collaboratively to the discussion, with a facilitator to keep things on track.
These events are ideal for anyone who would like regular opportunities to discuss their research with the same small group over several weeks. You will be able to present your work, describe challenges and dilemmas, and, together, we will formulate strategies and solutions. Regular meetings help build a community of practice and help participants become familiar with each other's work.
These sessions supplement, rather than replace, the formal supervision or advising processes at your institution. Ideal for those without a geographically local community of IPA researchers.

"The IPA roundtable sessions were a great opportunity to share challenges with others at a similar stage of research. We were able to discuss more general approaches to IPA, but the small group size meant there was also the opportunity to ask questions and get advice specific to our own research. These sessions got me out of a PhD slump and I am now clear on how to proceed, and feeling motivated to do so! "
"Attending the research roundtable sessions helped me to get back into an IPA mindset while writing up my thesis. Elly shared her knowledge, offered insights, and provided valuable resources for further exploration. I enjoyed the thoughtful discussions and the opportunity to hear different perspectives and exchange ideas within a small group."
"Participating in the roundtable was an invaluable experience. You facilitated an environment where a small group of other IPA researcher's and myself felt safe to bounce ideas off one another, and to grow in confidence under your guidance and experience. If I could attend these throughout my PhD journey I absolutely would!"
