Context
• ESRC demographic survey
• RAE analysis over time
• Recognition exercise
• JUC SWEC Research Strategy
![Page 3: Building Capacity for a Practice Based Discipline Joan Orme, University of Glasgow Jackie Powell, University of Southampton](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082510/5a4d1b227f8b9ab059995949/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Implementing change
• Qualifying level for social work
• Circle of resistance
• Skill the academic workforce
• Create a virtuous circle
![Page 4: Building Capacity for a Practice Based Discipline Joan Orme, University of Glasgow Jackie Powell, University of Southampton](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082510/5a4d1b227f8b9ab059995949/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Key principles
• Across the professional lifecourse► PGRs to Professors
• Across research settings► Academic/practice divide
• Researcher community► researchers, educators, practitioners,
recipients of social work services

Researcher Development Initiative
Three interconnected strands:
• Advanced methods (3 workshops)
• PGR students (2 conferences)
• Training the trainers (3 events)

Outcomes 2
• Participants’ evaluations were overall positive across all three strands, but
• Constructive feedback re content and organisation
• Learning from and building on the experience

Reflections
• Managing the tension within a practice based discipline
• ‘the pull’ towards (inter)disciplinary development
• ‘the push’ towards practice relevance
