Elle organisent également avec nous deux événements auxquels vous êtes toutes et tous bienvenu·e·s.

6 juin - Séminaire doctoral CUSO et lunchtime panel

Surviving and thriving in interdisciplinary research

Undertaking interdisciplinary research can be hugely rewarding and enables the researcher to explore perspectives and concepts from other disciplines. This seminar will give doctoral students the opportunity to reflect on their research methods and the means in which their research is and is not interdisciplinary in nature.

A lunchtime panel on careers in the fields of law, criminal sciences and public administration will provide perspectives on career development from speakers from a range of career stages and disciplinary focuses, with a focus on women's careers but open to all.

Undertaking interdisciplinary research can be hugely rewarding and enables the researcher to explore perspectives and concepts from other disciplines. This seminar will give doctoral students the opportunity to reflect on their research methods and the means in which their research is and is not interdisciplinary in nature.

The seminar is aimed at both students who are undertaking an explicitly interdisciplinary study and those who are doing a PhD in Law but are considering whether a method or approach from another discipline might enrich their work. A series of cross-cutting issues will be discussed, including building interdisciplinary networks; stakeholder engagement and collaboration; publishing interdisciplinary research, and the challenges and benefits of interdisciplinarity as such. Students will be given the opportunity to present their research and receive feedback from experts invited for the occasion, as well as other participants.

A lunchtime panel on careers in the fields of law, criminal sciences and public administration will provide perspectives on career development from speakers from a range of career stages and disciplinary focuses, with a focus on women's careers but open to all.

Information recorded by ordinary citizens on personal devices plays an increasingly important role in accountability processes. Across the world, advances in mobile phone technology and internet access mean that millions of important photographs and videos depicting mass human rights violations have been, and will continue to be, created and shared online. Yet, at the same time, the public is increasingly confronted with examples of deepfakes and synthetic media, which are only likely to become more widespread, advanced, and difficult to detect as the technology progresses.

Much of the literature to date has expressed a concern that the rise in deepfakes will lead to mass mistrust in user-generated evidence, and that this in turn will decrease its epistemic value in legal proceedings and human rights accountability processes. This may well be the case, but no study has yet tested that assumption. The TRUE project seeks to address that important evidence gap. In this seminar, we will:

Discuss the role that user-generated evidence has played in human rights accountability to date;
Outline the TRUE project's multi-disciplinary methodology;
Present some initial findings from our research to date.

The presentation will be followed by an exchange with Frank Breitinger, Lea Rochat, Olivier Ribaux and the public.
