E3: Busting 'Impact' with Ksenia Sawczak and Katherine Kenny
This episode features the word ‘IMPACT’.
Episode 3 brings us the most amazing duo that is Ksenia Sawczak and Katherine Kenny. Ksenia is the Head of Research and Development in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at The University of Sydney, and Katie is the Deputy Director of the Sydney Centre for Healthy Societies and a Senior Research Fellow in the Disciplines of Sociology & Criminology.
You can find some of Ksenia’s articles that she wrote for The Conversation Australia here: https://theconversation.com/profiles/ksenia-sawczak-1247345/articles. She is an expert in higher education policy and research management and is steeped in thought leadership management in the higher education sector.
Here is Katie’s academic research profile: https://www.sydney.edu.au/arts/about/our-people/academic-staff/katherine-kenny.html. Next to being an ARC DECRA Senior Research Fellow, and SOAR Prize recipient in the School of Social and Political Sciences at The University of Sydney, she is also the Editor in Chief of Health Sociology Review (2023-2026).
When we talked to both of them, we were lucky enough to find out more about Ksenia’s take on translating research impact for the public, which Katie’s project Picturing Cancer Survivorship demonstrates: https://www.picturingcancersurvivorship.org/
*Editors’ note: Ksenia would like to add an update. Since
we recorded this episode, research impact has come back to the fore through the ARC’s commencement of a policy review of the National Competitive Grants Program (NCGP). As part of this, the ARC has been seeking feedback on revised objectives for the NCGP, with a proposal for the inclusion of research impact. As such, some of the things she mentioned in the recording about impact going on the government backburner are no longer true.
