Competencies and reflection on the learning undertaken: Writing the research proposal has been a challenging activity that has thrust me into the joys and difficulties of PhD life. When I first enrolled, I came to the proposal writing with an already defined idea on the topic. As I explored the literature, I added some elements outside my initial thoughts. While it seemed a good path forward as far as a research topic goes, one of my supervisors didn’t think that could yield significant results, and I could risk that all my work during my PhD may not be as helpful and valuable as it could be. After thinking about it, I shifted the focus of my topic slightly. However, this set me back several months, and while I was hoping to have my proposal ready by mid to late January of 2025, I submitted my proposal just a few hours ago (April 1st). This has been a stressful and somewhat discouraging experience. However, I am pleased with my final proposal. Despite the time constraints, I created a cohesive proposal and put forward a topic for research that is needed and personally engaging. Throughout the process, I have had the full support of both of my supervisors, who have responded to my many questions and guided me when needed.

I have done research before and currently do. However, through this process, I have developed new knowledge on the “ins and outs” of research proposal writing that I didn’t have, such as the level of detail required in the methodology section. I have also sharpened my skills in working under pressure while managing my job and personal life responsibilities. This process has also helped me evaluate and more firmly decide if this path (the PhD) I want to follow. The answer is yes. Despite the difficulties, this is worth my time and effort personally and professionally.

Eye-Tracking Workshop for Developmental Scientists (London)

From the 3rd to the 4th April I’ll participate in an on-site Eye–Tracking Workshop for Developmental Scientists in Birkbeck University of London. The goal of this workshop is to learn the principles on how to use eye-tracking techniques for behavioural studies through coding languages (Python – PsychoPy, and R) and analysing it through different models. The course covers the basics on eye-tracking mechanisms, calibrating Tobii hardware, using Python, R and PsychoPy, collecting quality data of Areas and Times of Interest,…

The goal of this workshop is to learn the principles on how to use eye-tracking techniques for behavioural studies through coding languages (Python – PsychoPy, and R) and analysing it through different models. The course covers the basics on eye-tracking mechanisms, calibrating Tobii hardware, using Python, R and PsychoPy, collecting quality data of Areas and Times of Interest, preprocessing it through measures like saccadic latency or looking time, and analysing it through different statistical models. This is especially interesting for my thesis for two main reasons: first, my first experiment is already coded through PsychoPy, but I still lack expertise to apply it to more complex experiments; second, and crucially for my thesis, I intend to use the eye-tracking technique for my upcoming experiments (particularly, the ones with children participants).

Pilot study

After having designed the materials for my first experiment, I ran two piloting versions. On January, I ran a prepilot with three people who knew about the goal of the study. That was done so that I could make sure that the instructions and the stimuli were clear enough. This first prepilot allowed me to detect some aspects that could be improved, such as certain stimuli transitions or the form of a few words that could interfere with the participants’…

After having designed the materials for my first experiment, I ran two piloting versions. On January, I ran a prepilot with three people who knew about the goal of the study. That was done so that I could make sure that the instructions and the stimuli were clear enough. This first prepilot allowed me to detect some aspects that could be improved, such as certain stimuli transitions or the form of a few words that could interfere with the participants’ mother tongue. Having enhanced these parts, in March I ran a pilot with three different people who did not know about the phenomenon under investigation, so that they would act as real participants. The experiment seemed to run successfully, so no major changes were applied; however, it was useful to reduce the length of the first experimental phase, which seemed to be too long.

Stimuli design

Since September 2024, I specifically worked on the design of the stimuli for the first experiment of my thesis. The experiment aims at exploring the role of prominence in the acquisition and the generalization of verb-inflectional morphemes (particularly, singular and plural) among typically-developing adults. To do so, I have prepared the stimuli of my first experiment of the thesis. It consists of video recordings in which a Catalan-speaking person produces non-sense words (verbs) with different prominence markers on the inflectional…

Since September 2024, I specifically worked on the design of the stimuli for the first experiment of my thesis. The experiment aims at exploring the role of prominence in the acquisition and the generalization of verb-inflectional morphemes (particularly, singular and plural) among typically-developing adults. To do so, I have prepared the stimuli of my first experiment of the thesis. It consists of video recordings in which a Catalan-speaking person produces non-sense words (verbs) with different prominence markers on the inflectional morpheme: no prominence, prosodic prominence and multimodal prominence. Each of the videos representing verbs is simultaneously matched with a picture of an image (AI-generated picture) representing an action that is either in a singular form (e.g. a person biking – duntol) or in a plural form (i.e., more than one person biking – duntop). This process has contributed to a better understanding of  the methodologies used within language acquisition and to develop critical thinking skills in order to scientifically assess the efficiency of my design.

Fecha: 29 de Enero de 2025

Lugar: Pavellón 14.1 IFEMA, Madrid

Evento: Congreso/Feria de la Alimentación

Participé, dentro del marco de la agenda de Madrid Fusión “Salud. Los alimentos como medicina”, de la ponencia “Bares y tabernas contra la soledad”, temática que investigo desde hace muchos años y que centra mi tesis doctoral. Tuve la oportunidad de compartir  desde mi perspectiva antropológica este asunto, con la visión de un periodista, una enfermera y un directivo de Hostelería de España.

Todos coincidimos en el papel fundamental que juegan los bares y tabernas para la salud de las personas, ofreciendo espacios de reunión vitales donde compartir, escuchar, aprender, ser escuchado o simplemente, estar o sentirse acompañado.

Fecha: 28 de noviembre de 2024

Lugar: Posada Guadalupe, Monroyo (Teruel)

Evento: Jornada divulgativa con intervenciones y mesa redonda de debate

Como parte de mi investigación doctoral sobre  antropología social y de la alimentación aplicada a los bares, coordiné esta jornada divulgativa sobre el papel determinante que juegan los bares en la vida social, cultural y económica en los entornos rurales y en el cuidado de la salud de las personas.

La jornada comenzó con una pequeña bienvenida, continuando con una intervención de José Ramón Segura, propietario del Bar L’Espiga, epicentro de mi tesis doctoral, quien compartió en primera persona con todos los asistentes , qué ha significado este bar  para su población mientras estuvo abierto y cómo ha influído su cierre para la población a la que pertenece.

Acto seguido , realicé una ponencia bajo el título de “Los bares como instituciones sociales” desde mi perspectiva antropológica aplicada a los bares,  para más tarde continuar con la mesa redonda “La importancia del bar en el entorno social” en la que participaron , entre otros, el Dr. Jesús Contreras (Catedrático Emérito en Antropología Social y de la Alimentación), Joan Ribas ( Doctor en Antropología  Social y miembro de la Fundación Alicia) y propietarios de bares de pequeñas localidades de la Comarca del Matarranya

Lugar: Paraninfo del Edificio Histórico de la Universitat de Barcelona

Evento: Mesas de trabajo

Durante esta edición del Congreso de Ciencia y Cocina, tuve el placer de coordinar junto a Jordi Tresserras, bajo el amparo de la Unesco, tres mesas redondas vinculadas a la temática de mi investigación doctoral sobre antropología social y de la alimentación de los bares (y restaurantes):

                                

                 

1.- Gastronomía sostenible en Barcelona. Cocina contra el racismo y las discriminaciones sociales. La mesa exploró cómo la gastronomía puede ser una herramienta de inclusión y cambio social. Se abordaron temas como la diversidad y la inclusión en el ámbito gastronómico, con énfasis en la representación cultural y el acceso equitativo a oportunidades laborales.

2.-Gastronomía sostenible y mundo rural: Matarraña destino Gastronómico Sostenible. Abordamos el papel de la restauración  rural, en la preservación de su entorno natural, la reducción de la huella ecológica y el fomento de un turismo consciente que respete la cultura y el paisaje rural. Asistieron agentes de la comarca quienes compartieron su visión y contribución  en posicionar la comarca del Matarraña (Teruel) como un destino de referencia en turismo y gastronomía sostenible, haciendo especial mención  a los bares y restaurantes que subsisten garantizando una vida social saludable  en sus pequeños núcleos rurales.

3.-Barcelona en verd: Formación e innovación como ejes de sostenibilidad en restauración. Esta mesa se centró en la importancia de la educación y la innovación para promover prácticas sostenibles en el sector gastronómico. Se exploraron temas como el desarrollo de programas de formación en sostenibilidad para profesionales de la restauración y el impacto de la investigación y la tecnología en la reducción de residuos, eficiencia energética, selección de productos de proximidad, etc.

Along with Milena Álvarez Andrade (PhD student in the same program as me), Dra. Núria Esteve-Gibert and Dr. Llorenç Andreu, I’m working as a co-author in a systematic review focused on the influence of prosodic prominence and rhythmic gestures in the comprehension of sentences among children with DLD. This is Milena’s PhD topic, in which we clearly share many research interests: the effect of prosody, the role of gestures, and the comprehension of messages (in my case, however, of morphological…

Núria Esteve-Gibert and Dr. Llorenç Andreu, I’m working as a co-author in a systematic review focused on the influence of prosodic prominence and rhythmic gestures in the comprehension of sentences among children with DLD. This is Milena’s PhD topic, in which we clearly share many research interests: the effect of prosody, the role of gestures, and the comprehension of messages (in my case, however, of morphological elements). Since October, we have regularly met online and have carried out the following tasks: designed the research protocol, conducted the article screening and started selecting the categories with which we will classify and analyse each article. This has especially helped me to gather literature on my topic of research and to reflect upon methodologies used within the field, which is crucial on the first steps of my investigation process.

Lugar:  Fira de Barcelona, Barcelona

Evento: El impacto de la IA en la gastronomía.

En el marco del Forum Lab del Gastronomic Forum Barcelona 2024, desde Fundación Restaurantes Sostenibles coordiné y participé como ponente en la mesas redondas de debate dedicada a la IA , donde tuve la oportunidad de compartir junto con  expertos de la industria gastronómica  en diferentes ámbitos ,debatiendo sobre el impacto de la IA en el sector y si realmente esta tecnología podría sustituir el factor humano.

La jornada se estructuró en 3 ponencias y en una experimento social-gastronómico, de lo que puede extraer importantes reflexiones  aplicables a mi investigación doctoral sobre la antropología del bar (y de la alimentación), como las emociones y el factor humano son imprescindibles para nuestra salud social .
