There are no central Research Ethics Panel (REP) meetings held during August, so if you’re hoping to start data collection activities over the summer and are in the process of completing your research ethics checklist, please keep this in mind when planning your research activities and submit your checklist in time for the final REP meetings to be held in June and July. Checklists received during August which need to be reviewed by a full Panel will be deferred until September (dates to be advised).
REPs review all staff projects and postgraduate research projects which have been identified as high risk through the online ethics checklist. Details on what constitutes high risk can be found on the research governance, research ethics & integrity website.
There are two central REPs:
Science, Technology & Health
Social Sciences & Humanities
Staff and PGR ‘high risk’ projects are reviewed by one of the central REPs and Researchers (including PGR Supervisors) will normally be invited to Panel for discussions.
Staff Projects which are ‘low risk’
Reviews for low risk projects will continue as normal during August (via email), although turnaround may take longer than normal due to Reviewer availability during this month.
PGR Projects which are ‘low risk’
There are no changes to the review and approval process for low risk PGR projects and reviews will continues as normal throughout August, again subject to the availability of Supervisor and assigned Ethics Champions.
June’s Community Voices webinar welcomes Dr Gareth Sherwood – CEO of YMCA Bournemouth.
Gareth has a life history of working across the health sector, non-profit sector, education, in Christian organisations and various charity services; doing so full-time since 2007 when he ceased practising as a medical doctor after 8 years practice. Gareth has also worked as a social entrepreneur, educator, public speaker, ethics advisor, youth worker, and church, charity and business leader. He sits on several ethics panels, boards and acts as a director for the Dorset Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Hope Place CIC and the HealthBus Trust, he also serves on various boards involved in community transformation. Gareth has worked in various parts of the UK and has broad experience in starting and developing volunteer groups, organisations, social businesses and charities.
The YMCA – YMCA Bournemouth works across BCP and Dorset in the areas of supported housing, family support, early years, youthwork, sports and leisure, community centres, business development, mentoring, training, pre-school, holiday retreat, wellbeing, mental health, contact centres and more.
Community voices is a collaboration between BU PIER partnership and Centre for Seldom Heard Voices to provide a platform and a voice to local community activists.
On 5th June, the first day of carers week 2023, six carers from Dorset met for the first time and shared experiences of the effect of the cost-of-living crisis on their caring role. During the previous two weeks, each carer had taken photographs to capture the impact the cost-of living crisis was having on them, and their caring role.
A huge thank you to Moonmoon, Kim, Aiden,Jason, Katya, and Lesley for all your most generous contributions to this project so far, and for sharing your important experience, insight, and expertise.
Using the qualitative research method of photovoice and working in partnership with the carers, this Bournemouth University project in collaboration with Bournemouth University PIER (Public Involvement in Education and Research) Partnership will translate these experiences of caring during the cost-of-living crisis into actionable knowledge, a call for change and to identify future research priorities.
At the workshop, facilitated by Professor Lee-Ann Fenge (Professor of Social Care) and Dr Kate Jupp (PIER Officer), and supported by co-researchers Pete Atkins (PIER Officer) and Angela Skeparovska (student research assistant) each carer shared the story and meaning behind each of their five chosen photographs; the photographs being the catalyst for the stories that emerged.
The workshop was incredibly powerful, and the images, and the experiences, thoughts, and feelings they represented were both hard to hear and important to share. Experience of homelessness, insolvency, losing the family home, using foodbanks, soup kitchens, community pantry and searching through bins for food were all shared. The hidden costs of health appointments, additional energy use for laundry and cooking to meet special dietary requirements were highlighted. Each of the carers shared how the current guidance to reduce energy consumption in the home was often in conflict with meeting the needs of the person being cared for. Underlying all these experiences was the personal cost of, and personal losses associated with caring. The carers articulated clearly and repeatedly the amplifying effect the cost-of-living crisis was having on their own well-being and the quality of life they were able provide for the person they were caring for.
The carers reported how important it was for them to share their stories and to be amongst others who understood. One carer reported “feeling lighter” when they left, and another said they “felt the session was rewarding and (they were) glad to have shared some insight of our support of loved ones”. All six expressed the wish to continue with this project.
The following images were taken from the 30 images shared during the workshop.
The first images captured the feelings and experience of being “completely overwhelmed” whilst falling further and further into debt:
This image is of food salvaged from a private dustbin on a driveway. The carer went on to explain the choice they subsequently faced, whether or not to toast the cheese, using energy on the grill, in an attempt to reduce the risk of food poisoning.
This two-day sandpit creates a dynamic approach to the development of concepts for innovative projects and funding bids. By the end of both days, the participants will form interdisciplinary project teams and generate proposals (including pinpointing external partners) for funded projects on media and social justice issues. See more details in the programme outline.
The event will involve participants from across BU, who are interested in, or already doing research on, social justice issues. It will establish an interdisciplinary dialogue, enhance the scope for public engagement or knowledge transfer, increase the potential for impact, improve the chances for successful bids, and establish cross-institutional networks as seedbeds for future projects.
The sandpit will culminate in project pitches to a panel of senior staff (see below) for constructive feedback and for allocating a bid-writing mentor. After the event, the teams will be offered mentorship to support writing the full funding application.
Sandpit Programme Outline
Who should participate:
We welcome any BU-based junior to mid-career researcher, artist, practitioner or anyone with a general interest in media and social justice. You should be keen to work in a multidisciplinary team, and willing to commit to attending the full sandpit, on both days. No prior experience of research funding is required.
How to participate:
To secure your spot in the Sandpit, please complete and submit the following application – note that all participants must commit to attending both full days:
We are thrilled to share the success of our recent visit to IPAG (Paris and Nice), one of our esteemed partner universities in France. The visiting team from the Business School comprised of, Dr. Milena Bobeva, Mr. Mark Ridolfo, Dr. Deborah Taylor and Dr. Samreen Ashraf. The purpose of this visit was to strengthen and deepen the relationship between IPAG and the BU team, and we are pleased to say that we had meaningful conversations to strengthen our partnership further. During this visit, we discovered numerous commonalities between our institutions, including shared values, student experiences, international outlook, and a focus on inclusivity and responsibility. We would like to express our gratitude to the Global Staff Mobility team and Milena Bobeva for providing us with this invaluable opportunity. Let’s delve into some of the immediate outcomes and outputs from this visit. Active Promotion of Student Exchanges: One of the main outcomes of our visit to IPAG is the active promotion of student exchanges. Armed with a more comprehensive understanding of IPAG’s programmes and locations, our staff can now provide detailed and nuanced overviews to prospective Top Up and Exchange students. This immediate benefit extends to our students, as they receive enhanced guidance regarding programme options and destinations. Furthermore, this visit has opened up opportunities for knowledge transfer to other Business School staff who lead Study Abroad programs, promoting collaboration and sharing best practices. Engagement in IPAG’s International Week and Summer Schools: We are excited to announce that BU staff members now have the opportunity to participate in IPAG’s International Week held in both Paris and Nice. IPAG has expressed a desire to have more of our staff engage with their programs, and this exchange of knowledge and experiences will foster stronger ties between our institutions. Additionally, this collaboration presents a unique chance for BU students to participate in IPAG’s International Week, with this year’s focus on sustainability—an excellent fit for BU’s Centre for Sustainable Business Transformation. We encourage our students to seize this opportunity for international exposure and enriching experiences. This not only broadens their horizons but also provides them with a unique chance to experience the French education system and culture first-hand. IPAG Staff Visiting Bournemouth University: To further build and strengthen the relationship between BU and IPAG, an agreement has been reached for IPAG staff members to visit Bournemouth University. This visit will allow for continued collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the development of a robust partnership between our institutions. Exploring Collaborations on PhD/DBA Programs and Study Abroad Opportunities: During the visit, we had the opportunity to discuss potential collaborations on PhD/DBA programs These discussions were meaningful, and we learned about the differences between PhD programs in the UK and France, IPAG’s focus on improving their DBA program, and their aspirations for future PhD programs. This exchange of ideas paves the way for research seminars which will help us to build our capacity and improve our research culture and environment.

I am circulating this in case someone is interested. I have just published an article in The Conversation about racism in Spanish football and sports media, written with a colleague from the University of Central Catalonia.
Here’s the link:
“Vinícius Júnior: La Liga and the Spanish media must both accept responsibility for the racism that shames football”
As the 2022/23 Academic Year started to unfold, and a review of our experiences with students, lost and confused about referencing systems, poor academic practices, and academic misconduct, Dr Steph Allen, Dr Ed Bickle, and Dr Marian Mayer from the FMC Learning Development Team (FMCLDT) identified a need to bring to life some of the unexpected tales and truths of academic integrity misconducts – intended or otherwise – to a wider community of scholars.
Seeking truths and perspectives, alongside narratives and numbers from the BU Academic Integrity Working Group, led by Dr Steph Allen, the LD team brought together a stellar set of speakers from the global academic integrity field for a series of 12 webinars. Planned in early 2022, what started as a ‘couple of sessions’ here and there soon cascaded into a successful ‘first of its kind’ series webinars that caught the imagination of scholars, students, and commercial organisations internationally.
Through an original and imaginative collaboration between the BU FMC LDT, AldinHE, Turnitin, FLIE, and renowned thought-leaders in the field of academic integrity and emerging artificial intelligence, Tales of the Unexpected brought together perspectives and concerns which were elevated and exposed, and ways forward were examined (and questions, so many questions!).
One particular webinar on Artificial Intelligence and academic integrity: Insights for Teaching and Learning arranged in October 2022 confirmed our prescience, as the world learnt in late November 2022, in what would turn out to be revolutionary – both in discussion but also hurriedly both behind the scenes, and then, slowly, in practice: the release and experimentation with a series of ChatGPT software tools, just one application brand in a suite of several that were known, but lesser discussed (even more questions!).
Whilst we took a risk in leading, creating, organising, and running the webinars, the innovative and timely nature of the series resulted in a comprehensive resource that attracted academics, professional staff, students, and industry sectors from 21 countries, with over 2700 registrants, attendees, and viewers – and has garnered appreciative feedback and demands for future webinars. It has also resulted in invitations to conferences, guest talks, workshops, high-value networking events, journal reviewing, conference organisation, and expert referrals (This was unexpected, and encouraging, yet we are mindful of workload).
As the first of its kind in UK Higher Education, this series quickly positioned BU at the forefront of advancing knowledge on matters around and pertinent to academia and research, as well as staff integrity, attracting widely recognised authoritative international speakers, educators, and thought pioneers, and setting a new standard for worldwide educators and students alike. It has showcased the BU brand and commitment to academic (and research) integrity (of which we are proud).
Recognising that academic integrity is a fundamental philosophy within the HE sector, since the series started, other institutions recognised the need to build on this ground-breaking series and have since followed suit.
Tales of the Unexpected: Traps and Pitfalls in Academic Integrity webinar series is available on FLIE and can be found here:

12. A Ghostwriter in the Machine: Academic Integrity Implications of Machine Translation and Generative AI Klaus Mundt, Mike Groves (University of Nottingham and Lingnan University, Hong Kong)
Last but not least, somewhere in the middle of the webinar series, Dr Steph Allen invited the President of the Law Society for England and Wales for An Evening with Lubna Shuja. An in-person event hosted by Department of Humanities & Law, the intimate evening event brought together the professions and students and was very much part of the Tales of the Unexpected: Academic Integrity Speaker Series and well received by the attendees.
Again, our thanks go to FLIE colleagues: Tracey Webb, Oliver Moore-Oats, David Hunt and all the FLIE team involved,

On 6th June the Faculty hosted the first FHSS PGR Student Conference. The half-day Conference opened with a Keynote presentation in which Professor Edwin van Teijlingen shared his considerable experience of supporting PhD students and highlighting important considerations for students as they progress with their doctoral studies. Edwin challenged students to not always agree with their supervisors.
The Conference also showcased some of the innovative PGR research happening in the Faculty, with presentations from Cathy Beresford, John Tarrant, Chloe Casey, Peter Philips, Preetee Gokhale, Amanda Hensman-Crook, Paula Shepherd, Christine Vincent and Naomi Purdie.
Cathy Beresford
The Conference was organised by PGR students Tanya Andrewes, Cathy Beresford, Hina Tariq and Helen Allen, with minimal support from the FHSS Doctoral School. It is hoped that this Conference will become an annual event organised by students with the 2024 Conference being bigger and better than 2023 … the challenge is set.
Massive congratulations to all involve in planning the Conference, to the presenters and to those present who challenged the speakers with interesting questions.

Bournemouth University (BU) has collaborated with the University of Cambridge on network wide road traffic prediction. The work, led by Dr. Wei Koong Chai in BU, address the problem of traffic prediction on large-scale road networks and propose a novel deep learning model, Virtual Dynamic Graph Convolution Neural Network and Transformer with Gate and Attention mechanisms (VDGCNeT), to comprehensively extract complex, dynamic and hidden spatial dependencies of road networks for achieving high prediction accuracy. The work advocates the use of a virtual dynamic road graph that captures the dynamic and hidden spatial dependencies of road segments in real road networks instead of purely relying on the physical road connectivity.
The team designed a novel framework based on Graph Convolution Neural Network (GCN) and Transformer to analyse dynamic and hidden spatial–temporal features. The gate mechanism is utilised for concatenating learned spatial and temporal features from Spatial and Temporal Transformers, respectively, while the Attention-based Similarity is used to update dynamic road graph.
Two real-world traffic datasets from large-scale road networks with different properties are used for training and testing the model. VDGCNeT is pitted against nine other well-known models in the literature. The results demonstrate that the proposed VDGCNeT is capable of achieving highly accurate predictions – on average 96.77% and 91.68% accuracy on PEMS-BAY and METR-LA datasets respectively. Overall, our VDGCNeT performs the best when compared against other existing models.
Today received confirmation from Bournemouth University Executive that the proposed name change of the Centre for Midwifery, Maternal & Perinatal Health (CMMPH) to the more inclusive Centre for Midwifery & Women’s Health (CMWH) has been ratified. So we proudly present our new centre with over fifty members. The new centre has four focus areas: (1) ‘Changing the narrative and care in early labour; (2) Infant feeding and postnatal care; (3) Improving care for mothers and babies in low and middle income countries; and (4) Women’s health and other research.
Colleagues and their students might be interested in an international guest lecture offered by a political sociologist, Dr Gezim Selaci, and a ECR-media studies scholar/historian, Artan Krasniqi, from Kosovo (University of Prishtina, Department of Sociology). The talk is organised by the Centre for Seldom Heard Voices: marginalisation and societal integration (FHSS).
Gezim and Artan will be talking about “Kosovo Dark Heritage”: unheard voices of the Kosovo war and its aftermath. The talk will cover questions of conflict/ post-conflict memory, media representation and politics, and silenced voices and experiences in Kosovo (details in this Flyer (Gezim & Artan).
Gezim and Artan arethe (nearly) last visitors we are hosting in our soon-expiring BU-Kosovo Erasmus mobility projects, which have been running since 2018.
The extended lunch time talk will take place next Wednesday in EB-708 (Lansdowne campus), from 12:00 to 14:00.
Many people think of postnatal depression as a condition that only affects women. But in reality, postnatal depression affects almost as many men as women – with some research estimating it occurs in up to 10% of fathers.
Yet despite how common postnatal depression may be in men, there still isn’t very much information out there about it. This can make it hard to know if you may have postnatal depression – and how to get help if you do.
Here’s what you need to know.
This article is part of Quarter Life, a series about issues affecting those of us in our twenties and thirties. From the challenges of beginning a career and taking care of our mental health, to the excitement of starting a family, adopting a pet or just making friends as an adult. The articles in this series explore the questions and bring answers as we navigate this turbulent period of life.
There are many reasons why postnatal depression happens. And, contrary to popular belief, it isn’t just due to hormones. Even in women, hormones only play a small role in postnatal depression.
Instead, postnatal depression is typically due to a combination of risk factors – such as a previous history of depression, sleep problems after the baby is born, lack of social support or financial challenges. Postnatal depression can also happen at any age.
The symptoms of postnatal depression are quite similar to symptoms of depression. As such, symptoms of postnatal depression may include low mood, lack of motivation, poor sleep, feeling guilty or worthless, poor concentration, changes in appetite or weight, fatigue and thoughts of death or suicide.
The main difference between depression and postnatal depression is that these feelings tend to happen in the postnatal period (typically the first year or so after the baby is born).
It can be normal to struggle with your mental health somewhat after your baby is born. After all, it can be an overwhelming and emotional time, with nearly every aspect of your life changing – from your daily routine, your relationship with your partner, to the amount of sleep you get every night.
Consider speaking with your GP if symptoms have lasted more than a few weeks. fizkes/ Shutterstock
But if you’ve been experiencing low mood and lack of motivation for more than a few weeks, and are finding these feelings are making it difficult to engage with your infant, you may want to consider speaking with your GP or a mental health professional. It’s also worth noting that postnatal depression can happen at any time in the first year or two after the baby is born – not just in the early months.
Getting help
Postnatal depression is not likely to go away on its own. If you suspect you may be struggling with postnatal depression, it’s important to seek support – not only for your wellbeing, but because postnatal depression can also affect your bond with your baby.
While it can be difficult to know how to take the first step in getting support, a good starting point is simply acknowledging that this is a difficult thing to talk about. As simple as this sounds, it may just help you feel less awkward about sharing your experiences when you do speak to someone. It’s also worth remembering that when you do speak to someone, it’s important to say how you really feel – not what you feel you should say.
It’s also normal if you feel angry about feeling the way you do. Many young men who struggle with their mental health feel angry that they feel this way, or worry that they’ve let their loved ones down or that the system will not listen to them. To deal with that anger, be patient. Try to let the anger go – it may help you feel more at ease opening up about your other emotions.
You may also find it easier to talk about your experiences in certain settings. For example, while some people may find it easier to speak with their GP or in online chat groups, you may find it more comfortable to speak up in a less formal setting – such as while watching sports with friends. You can begin this conversation with something as simple as asking how others are doing, before sharing your own feelings and experiences. Or, if your friends are also parents themselves, you might ask if any of them experienced similar feelings during the postnatal period.
If you’re finding it hard to speak to loved ones, you could also consider using a mental health app. Some people find it easier to use an app to ask questions, find solutions and discuss how they’re feeling. Apps such as DadPad have a number of resources that can help you navigate fatherhood.
Postnatal depression in fathers is real and it does matter. Fortunately, compared to just a few years ago, there’s more awareness and help available than ever before.
