Media and Communication researchers, please consider taking part in the study “Affecting research in media and communication”, which aims to map and quantify emotional risks and emotional labour of conducting research in our disciplines, its impact on job stress, burnout and satisfaction, as well as best practice in supporting researchers’ well-being.
The survey is in English, anonymous, takes around 10 minutes to complete, and is open to media and communication researchers from across the world.

As we are increasingly working in precarious environments, investigating the emotional toll of media and communication production and consumption, as well as studying distressing content, we should also be acknowledging our own experiences of working in these fields and ways in which we can be best supported.
If you need any further information about participation in the study then please contact Dr Maja Simunjak (Middlesex University London) - M.Simunjak@mdx.ac.uk
