abstract = {This presentation will share research findings derived from autoethnographic data derived from my PhD study which looks at the interaction between teaching, research and public engagement in STEM education. I will look at the use of embodied movement as part of an autoethnographic research method that was expedited by the COVID19 pandemic as a daily walk during lockdown was permitted within government guidelines for the purpose of exercise. This started out as a lonely walk up a steep drover’s road in one of the most remote parts of North-West Scotland. However, as this process became more embedded into my daily life, I realised that not only did it feed my wellbeing, but it also provided a fertile space to reflect on my research work. Datawalking (van Es and de Lange, 2020) is a pragmatic approach to gather sensory-immersive data, which Amoroso (2021) posits as a counter to epistemic injustice. I will share how this method enhanced my wellbeing as a solo researcher who was disembodied from the academic community as a distance PhD student during the COVID19 pandemic and countered feelings of self-doubt and isolation typically experienced by PhD students (Boncori and Smith, 2019).},
