It’s a wonderful and engaging experience, go for it!
The course is designed with early career researchers in mind: to drive the sense-making of the content. Participants are drawn from different universities across the globe: positing an enriching, well-structured, balanced, and inclusive melting pot of views and ideas by colleagues with very different and informative backgrounds – absolutely superb! Input flows from the dedicated team of seasoned academics who guide the sessions as well as the subject experts who are invited to share their brilliant and prized work: welcoming criticism and constructive learning while fully engaging with the students. Perhaps the greatest highlight for me was the feedback I received which helped in shaping the study to ensure actionable and impactful contributions. These insights build upon the evolution of existing philosophical standpoints, and are a meaningful ingredient for broad dissemination once the research has been completed.
The doctoral seminar hosted by RRBM has been a life-changing experience for me. As a PhD candidate who is all set to write her dissertation, I received the right guidance at the right time about the role of values in social sciences and the progression of science over the years. Such readings are often excluded from the doctoral programs, which deprives the students of the foundational knowledge about the principles and practices one must follow as a researcher. The enriching discussions with Dr. Anne Tsui, Dr. Don Lange, and all the guest speakers helped me understand the message hidden in the readings better. If it hadn’t been for this seminar, my journey as a researcher would have been incomplete.
I would recommend that all doctoral students do the Philosophical Foundations of Responsible Research course offered through RRBM. I believe that my doctoral journey would have been incomplete without doing this course. The books, other readings, and overall plan of the course ensures steady progress and understanding of critical concepts. The similarities and differences between science and social sciences are better understood and I am now able to better appreciate the profound ideas of Karl Popper. Responsibility, rigor, and relevance required in research are values that are highlighted in this course and the sooner doctoral students inculcate these values the better it is for them individually as researchers and for all stakeholders as well.
