Windrush Strikes Back is perhaps unusual in using participatory research in an arts/humanities context, unlike many of the other projects in our Fresh Voices Series that are based in social science research.
Have you seen other projects that use Participatory Action Research outside of social science contexts (e.g. Physical or life sciences, arts and humanities, Law)? What might social scientists learn from these projects in our PAR reserach?
We're coming to the end of the moderating time, so we're going to close the thread in a couple of minutes. It's been great to see you all! Look forward to staying in touch!
Thanks for hosting this fantastic project! So glad I could attend in real time finally! Stay in touch, folks! @chellaquint www.chellaquint.com
thank you!
This was a mix - Humanities, arts and sciences - lots of different speakers and participants https://blogs.shu.ac.uk/hallamguild/files/2020/11/BSA-ECF-Event-9th-Dec-2020-.pdf only the program link, but you can look up the speakers and check out their projects.
I have to big up science comedy here - it's not just outreach but can be practice too. I experienced this on my masters myself, but then attended this amazing series of symposia put on by Kate Fox https://mixedbill.wordpress.com/ ooh! AND we had a zine output!
I think Windrush Strikes Back has integrated the arts and performance aspects into the history research really well - I'd be hard pressed to say it was a straight up humanities project. I'd have easily assumed it was arts with historical subject material, rather than humanities presented via art!
So a shout out to https://lab4living.org.uk/ where I'm doing my PhD. The faculty covers all aspects of arts and health in lots of different ways, with crossover into product design, fine art and interdisciplinary arts. Some amazing codesign and participatory design work featured here. It's very exciting to be involved in it.
i am not sure but maybe zooniverse projects would fit here?
