How familiar were you with the idea of zines before this talk? If you are new to zines - what do you think zine making offers beyond traditional research methods? If you have used zines in your own research practice - in what way have you done this and what did you learn from using zine making?

Also I find a follow-up reflective interview is very useful too! I came across this in@Mindy Ptolomey 's work, thank you Mindy! After the workshop, i asked people permission to distribute the zines to everyone. Afterwards, i arranged a ZineSwap session as a focus group, where people came together to shared their thought process and explained their zines to others (I found this really useful to minimise the bias instead of me trying to interprete the data later on).
The participants then felt that by looking at other's zines + the discussion, they found they got to know each other on a deeper personal level. And with all the sharing and similar stories, the participants shared that they empathised with other's sharing and a sense of community.
