Teaching embodied dissemination: enabling doctoral students to have authentic impact on their field

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Teaching embodied dissemination techniques to doctoral researchers is an essential part of a contemporary doctoral degree. Embodied dissemination recognises and engages the involvement of the physical body in the sharing of research work. Trainee researchers need to be able to identify the users of their work and how they might be reached. Yet more could be done to provide students with experience of and instruction in such approaches. This paper explores potential embodied dissemination methods and how we, as teachers in this space, might encourage students to connect with such approaches. To achieve this, three research-active teachers provide a reflective case study each considering the embodied dissemination techniques they adopt and, perhaps most importantly, how and why they came to use them. It is hoped that, by providing these examples alongside suggestions on how to get started, other teachers might consider how they could adopt such methods into their own repertoire and in so doing lead by example.
