Critical Reflections

Fraser Logan, University of Warwick

This edition introduces a new form of Reinvention article: Critical Reflections. In academic publishing, the author is all too often excluded. Academic conventions favour impartial prose. The first-person pronoun is discouraged, while lived experiences are concealed – despite the fact that research is always shaped by the person conducting it. When highly polished yet impersonal text can be produced at the click of a button, there is a need for publications which make space for human voices and relatable perspectives. These Critical Reflections reintroduce the author back into the publication landscape, creating space for students not only to present their research, but also to reflect on their relationship to their work and their identity as budding researchers.

Dr Fraser Logan is a Teaching Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning (IATL) and an Associate Fellow of the Institute of Advanced Study at the University of Warwick. He is a module co-convenor (with Dr Heather Meyer) on the IATL module, ‘Your Idea, Your Research: How to Pursue Your Passion Project at Warwick’.
