## Activity Report 

## 1. Academic Events 

## 1.1. Organising Academic Events 

RMC 2023 - Research Methodology Conference: 

In recent years, the discussion around decolonisation of the university and of the curriculum has become increasingly widespread, following the �Rhodes Must Fall� and �Fees Must Fall� protests in South Africa, and the �Why is my curriculum white?� and �Why isn�t my professor black?� movements in the UK. The call to decolonise universities and to radically alter educational landscapes to re  ect experiences and knowledge emanating from the global south is a crucial intervention in reframing issues of justice and equity in favour of the global majority in higher education. 

The question remains how in practical terms will these interventions shape how research is conducted, evaluated and published. What methods and methodologies will move the dial from reformist managerialism to liberation and transformation? This conference has provided a space for new and emerging researchers to envisage how the decolonial turn provides them with an opportunity to think anew about their research and its potential

impact on higher education processes and practices. The conference has been a space to critically think about methods and methodologies that take us beyond the traditional educational spaces and which envisage new synergies between the academy and community. 

In an attempt to promote critical conversation around the theme, we sought contributions about but not limited to the following topics: 

Critical analyses of the various forms and norms of decolonisation (real and imagined) 

Decolonisation of research methodologies and methods 

Methodological choices and challenges 

Research design, methods of data collection and  eldwork and analysis 

Ethical and legal issues 

Digital Research, use of new technological tools and innovative approaches 

Engaging marginalised audiences in research 

Limitations and future directions 

Addressing these challenges and opportunities, the RMC 2023 provided an important opportunity for established academics, early-career and postgraduate researchers from across the Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, with the objective of providing a critical but supportive environment. 

This conference has enabled participants to i) share their research experience ii) get feedback from their peers and leading academics and iii) develop their understanding of methods and methodologies in global contexts. Through the one-day conference, attendees were able to explore the current research trends, empirical, methodological, and ethical issues as well as challenges and opportunities. 

## 1.2. Applying for Research/Community Projects 

- �Career Advancement for Displaced Scholars� Project: 

The project, funded by the Lottery Community Fund and booster by the Big Give, aims to eradicate barriers for displaced scholars in gaining knowledge, experience and opportunities by creating a bespoke programme of cultural, educational and career-advancing activities to integrate these highly-skilled

migrants into the British job market. In doing so, the project will enable more people to fulfil their potential by working to address issues at the earliest possible stage. This tailored programme will be conducted with selected mentors from these communities in order to provide displaced scholars with a greater understanding of Britain, its culture, its academia and its working environment. 

Among the objectives of the project are: 

Visiting places with historical importance such as the Parliament, museums, theatres, galleries etc. 

Engaging with the UK Universities. 

- Learning sessions (advice on immigration and how to deal with displacement). 

- Engaging with professional life (CV Clinic, Career Development, Job Applications). 

Producing at least one publication at the end of the project. 

The project spans two years, with December 2023 marking the end of its  rst year. 

## 2. Society 

## 2.1. Conducting Community Outreach 

Scholar Family Fun Day: A Joyful Picnic Experience 



The project�s aim was to bring together displaced scholars from diverse backgrounds and their children for a one-day picnic. The picnic provided a fun, relaxed, and supportive environment for these individuals and families to come together and connect. 

The project fostered a sense of community among displaced scholars, alleviating feelings of isolation in unfamiliar environments. By uniting them with their families, they were able to exchange experiences and provide mutual encouragement. This signi  cantly enhanced their mental well-being. The bene  ciaries encompassed displaced scholars from various backgrounds, along with their children.

re  ected in our approach to feedback, where the stakeholders in our activities play a crucial role in shaping our policies. These e orts are not only aimed at maintaining quality standards but also at fostering a culture of excellence that permeates every aspect of our institution. 

## 5.2. Producing Alternative Ways of Fundraising 

In response to the evolving  nancial landscape in higher education, our institution has embarked on exploring and implementing alternative fundraising strategies. This year, we have focused on diversifying our revenue streams to ensure  nancial sustainability and independence. Initiatives include developing partnerships with other higher education institutions and tapping into digital platforms.

## **SOCIAL STUDIES** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ended 31 January 2023 which are set out on pages 10 to 20 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement** 

My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention other than disclosed below. 

1.which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

•to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations 

•to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met, or 

2.to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached **.**
