The title, ‘Discovery and Recognition’ prompts the researcher to question how their work disrupts the world. As social scientists, our work sets out to produce new knowledge but do we really seek something previously unknown or is it rather that we rediscover things which were intentionally or unofficially forgotten?

‘Good’ social science should be conscious of itself and its practices. But what surprises do we then face? Which methodologies are most useful? There was a Panel of cross-disciplinary guest speakers to consider these and other questions, and the Fellows were asked to bear the Workshop theme in mind when presenting their own work.

On Day Two, guest Panel members and Fellows came together in small discussion groups to identify key themes from the previous day and further unpack central topics. The groups then reported back to one another before a final plenary session.
