Walking as a participatory, performative and mobile method
Presenter(s): Maggie O'Neill and Tracey Reynolds
In this online resource, we talk about walking as a participatory, performative and mobile method. We also describe what the method is, and how it has been used in research. Moreoever, we discuss how we used these methods as part of our project with migrant communities.
Walking as a participatory, performative and mobile method
The research combines walking methods and participatory theatre - working with migrant mothers, girls and migrant women with no recourse to public funds - to understand the lives, experiences and sense of belonging and place making - involved in enacting citizenship.
