Necessity or Nuisance? The role of non-researchers in research
What input can or should non-researchers have in social research? What are
the particular issues and examples of good practice when dealing with peer
interviewing? Can you have participatory research involving children? How
can researchers keep the recipients of the research on board throughout the
process?
These are just some of the issues that will be raised at this year's SRA
annual conference. The conference will be an opportunity to hear about
examples of good practice and lessons learned in involving non-researchers
in research.
There will be plenary and panel sessions with expert speakers who will
discuss the benefits and limits of participatory research, different
approaches, the reasons for and rewards of such an approach but they will
also critically discuss issues around professional knowledge, inclusiveness
and sustainability.
An impressive line-up of workshop speakers will also be delivering a
variety of presentations throughout the day, with the topics ranging from
research with people living in poverty, cancer patients and young people,
to presentations on keeping the community and policy makers involved in a
research project and getting the findings across.
If you would like to find out more about how to involve people in your
research in a way that does not just pay lip service but also be aware of
some of the issues and pitfalls around participatory research or if you
would like to hear more about involving and communicating with the end
users of your research, it is highly recommended that you attend this
conference.
The conference is being held next Wednesday 7th December at Brunei Gallery,
SOAS, University of London, Thornhaugh Street, Russell Square, London WC1H 0XG.
You can find a map here: www.soas.ac.uk/gallery/findus.html
The SRA Annual General Meeting (10am) precedes the annual conference, which
