Description:
Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th May 2024 (mornings, 10-1pm)
This exciting interactive workshop will develop your knowledge and skills in using creative and participatory research methods. Creative and participatory methods are increasingly being utilised by social researchers to tackle complex research questions, enhance participant inclusivity and to generate wide ranging research impact for a broad range of stakeholders.
This session begins with an overview of developments in creative and participatory research, highlighting the opportunities and challenges in the context of social policy, research impact and advancing academic knowledge. Across the two days, the course covers how and why we use a variety of creative and participatory methods and how to bring them together in analysis, forming a constellation. The workshop will address ethics, opportunities, benefits and challenges during the research process and how to generate multi-level impact from grassroots to social policy. Participants will be given the opportunity to explore how to incorporate creative and participatory approaches (such as zines and photovoice) in their own research, and how to analyse and disseminate effectively.
Over the course you will:
- Be introduced to key debates in creative and participatory research
- Understand the potential for, and the challenges of, using creative and participatory research methods
- Explore how to ethically engage in creative and participatory research
- Learn from active peer-researchers involved in cocreating research
By the end of the course participants will:
- Develop practical skills in different creative and participatory approaches such as Zines, Photovoice, Co-creation/co-production (including peer research)
- Develop skills in designing, conducting, analysing and disseminating creative and participatory research,
- Learn how such methods can be incorporated into the generation of meaningful research impact.
This course will be delivered by Research Fellows Dr Linzi Ladlow and Dr Laura Way, both from the University of Lincoln. They are experienced in engaging with creative and participatory research and facilitating training. They have hosted a BSA funded symposium and are editing a forthcoming collection on creative and participatory methods.
This short course is suitable for all qualitative researchers at any career stage, including postgraduate students. Whilst we are not expecting you to already be familiar with creative and participatory methods, familiarity with the purposes of qualitative research, as well as with qualitative methods of data generation and analysis, will be assumed.
