## Activity Report 

## 1. Academic Events 

## 1.1. Organising Academic Events 

RMC - Research Methodology Conference: 

This year’s RMC was held in partnership with Birkbeck, University of London and Coventry University’s Centre for Global Learning (GLEA). 

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 fieldwork 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 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 Academic/Research/Community Projects 

TLI applied to two academic grant calls: 

## **International Writing Workshops 2023** 

_Elevating Research Voices: A Collaborative Writing Immersion for Early Career Researchers in Brazil_ 

TLI applied to the British Academy to conduct a five-day workshop in Brazil, supporting 30 early career researchers. The workshop aimed to build professional networks, foster research and teaching collaborations, enhance study skills, and support publication in high-impact journals within education, social sciences, and humanities. Although the project was not accepted, it successfully broadened TLI’s network in Brazil. 

## **British Academy, Conference 2023** 

_Higher Education Paradigms Post COVID: A Long-term Vision for Diversity and Inclusion_ 

TLI submitted an application to the British Academy to address the evolving roles and responsibilities of higher education institutions (HEIs) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Recognizing that the pandemic disrupted traditional services, creating disparities in HEIs' capacities to adapt, we proposed a one-day hybrid symposium. This transdisciplinary event will gather academics from fields like education, psychology, sociology, and technology to share best practices and formulate post-COVID strategies. Key topics include leveraging digital innovations to enhance HEI functions, sustaining student and staff well-being, and addressing emerging social needs through an egalitarian framework.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO TRUSTEES OF THE LONDON INSTITUTE OF** 

## **SOCIAL STUDIES** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ended 31 January 2024 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 **.**
