Unsurprisingly, engagement and non-formal learning practitioners and visitor researchers are predominately focused on their current visitors when they conduct evaluation research. However, it is also important for organisations to evaluate why they are not reaching broader publics or how they can more effectively reach beyond the usual audiences and visitors. This seminar will examine specific examples of research with non-traditional audiences or ‘non-visitors’ and consider the implications for understanding this crucial yet elusive category of publics.
