King's Trauma-Centred Study Group (TCSG)

Description

The King's Trauma-Centred Study Group (TCSG) was launched in autumn 2023 and brings together postgraduate researchers, early career researchers, alumni and faculty from across King's College London as well as other London-based universities to explore trauma as both a tool of analysis within research and a tool of self-reflection for researchers. It facilitates routine dialogue through discussion-based sessions, workshops and public lectures about the visibility of trauma as a concept, methodology and informed practice within research, curricula and policy-making. Its stated aims include a network of academics, experts, practitioners and clinicians from across the UK, Europe and North America to advance dialogue about trauma-informed research practices, and a research agenda rooted in collaboration between the humanities, social sciences and clinical perspectives. The group offers researchers training opportunities, tips and strategies for strengthening trauma-informed research practices, and embraces storytelling and narrative sovereignty as mediums and practices for teaching and learning through lived experience. It collaborates with organisations such as the Centre for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma to bring clinical and behavioural science perspectives to its sessions and workshops.
