Emotions in practice and research

In this episode Sarah and Lesley speak to Dr Angie Wilcock and Dr Sheila Quaid about their paper ‘Exploring the Dynamics of Situated Emotionality in Feminist Standpoint Epistemology’ (click here to read the paper). Angie and Sheila’s paper (and this podcast episode) focuses on emotions in research and practice. We talked about how, as researchers and practitioners, we can respond genuinely and sensitively to people’s stories and acknowledge our own emotions within the work that we do, as well as how emotions are recognised and managed within social work practice.Transcripts are available on the Portal Podcast Website: https://wp.sunderland.ac.uk/portal-podcast/ During the conversation a number of references were made to other material, including a book that Angie and Sheila have recently published, with Catriona Hugman, titled Negotiating Families and Personal Lives in the 21st Century (click here for more information about the book).There were also references to other authors/ researchers within the conversation and you can follow the links below to find out more:Donna Harraway’s situated knowledgesSandra Harding’s feminist standpoint epistemologyMary Holmes and Emotionalisation of ReflexivityCatherine DonovanAngie also makes reference to HMPPS within the podcast which stands for Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service.You can also find out more about our guests by viewing their staff profiles where you can also find their other publications. Find out more about Dr Angela Wilcock. Find out more about Dr Sheila Quaid.The music is called “Together We’re Stronger” by All Music Seven (All7 Studios) (you can listen to their music here). Production and editing by PaperGhosts.  The Portal Podcast is funded by the University of Sunderland.  Hosted on Acast.
