[Public-engagement] FW: UK Participatory Research Meeting, Nottingham, 12 April 2018

Hi all,

Well – I confess to being unaware that this was taking place on Campus, but hey – that’s why we need an Institute and a Head of Public Engagement!

In the meantime, I think this looks pretty good!

Afternoon session


1.30-3.0      Participatory Research and the ‘Impact Agenda’: challenges and solutions

The afternoon session will focus on the notion of impact.  A participatory research approach that is directly embedded in communities and is more action-oriented than research that takes a distanced, objectified approach, should afford great potential for demonstrating impact. The call for a more overt demonstration of research impact and evidence of that impact has, however, been tied to certain ways of framing, understanding, and documenting evidence (Penfield et al 2014). Efforts to trace and measure the impacts of research activity have overwhelmingly been shaped by accountability metrics and an interest in capturing linear relationships in research. For participatory researchers understandings of impact seldom map neatly onto conventional indicators or simplistic metrics. The question of how to recognize the nature and form of impact(s) in participatory research against this backdrop has its challenges and has been an emerging area of inquiry in health and social research.  This will be the topic for our discussion in the afternoon.
