This edited collection considers how conditional welfare policies and services are implemented and experienced by a diverse range of welfare service users across a range of UK policy domains including social security, homelessness, migration and criminal justice. The book showcases the insights and findings of a series of distinct, independent studies undertaken by early career researchers associated with the ESRC funded Welfare Conditionality project. Each chapter presents a new empirical analysis of data generated in fieldwork conducted with practitioners charged with interpreting and delivering policy, and welfare service users who are at the sharp end of welfare services shaped by behavioural conditionality.

Open science aims to improve the rigor, robustness, and reproducibility of psychological research. Despite resistance from some academics, the open science movement has been championed by some early career researchers (ECRs), who have proposed innovative new tools and methods to promote and employ open research principles. Feminist ECRs have much to contribute to this emerging way of doing research. However, they face unique barriers, which may prohibit their full engagement with the open science movement. We, 10 feminist ECRs in psychology from a diverse range of academic and personal backgrounds, explore open science through a feminist lens to consider how voice and power may be negotiated in unique ways for ECRs. Taking a critical and intersectional approach, we discuss how feminist early career research may be complemented or challenged by shifts towards open science. We also propose how ECRs can act as grass-roots changemakers within the context of academic precarity. We identify ways in which open science can benefit from feminist epistemology and end with envisaging a future for feminist ECRs who wish to engage with open science practices in their own research.

The Academy for Design Innovation Management (ADIM) Conference operates as a platform for knowledge creation, collaboration and advancement across a diverse range of Design Innovation discipline areas. The conference attracted speakers and attendees from across the globe, including recognised industry professionals, international scholars and emerging researchers operating in the creative, commercial and service industries. The conference general theme ‘Research Perspectives in the Era of Transformations’ provided a backdrop to what is taking place within the field of design innovation. It also signalled a desire to enable a more diverse intersection views at the conference. Thus, one of the aims was to open spaces for the early career research to actively join shaping the field of design innovation research. During the 2017 conference we succeeded by attracting significant number of early career researchers who represented a third of the conference delegates. One of the outcomes was entablement of the ADIM Collective. The ADIM Collective is now on-going global initiative of the Academy for Design Innovation Management that connects doctoral students and early career researchers from leading universities around the world. The aim of the ADIM Collective is to establish a strong professional network of PhD and early career researchers in the field of Design Innovation Management. ADIM Collective reaches this aim by providing opportunities for members of the ADIM Collective to meet, develop professional skills and build strong ties with other researchers interested in similar research topics. ADIM Collective encourages leading academics to share their experiences with the new generation of design management scholars through events, meetings and symposia. The ADIM Collective has successfully organised three Research Development Workshops.
