We are seeking to recruit a Research Associate to be part of the Productive Margins: Regulating for Engagement research programme which is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). This is an innovative new collaborative project between academics across disciplines in Cardiff and Bristol universities and community organisations in the South Wales valleys and Bristol. The researcher will be working in one of two research projects which will form a collective learning platform for five further projects which will be co-produced by the academic and community partners.
Using a qualitative Geographical Information System (GIS)
platform that has previously been employed to map perceptions of crime
and safety in a number of areas across the UK, this project will develop
its use amongst young people in a south Wales valleys’ neighbourhood to
map their own experiences, perceptions and concerns.
The post-holder will support the young people in developing and using the
App based device and will also be expected to use creative methods, possibly
with local performing and/or visual artists, as a means of facilitating
involvement in the research, encouraging alternative modes of expression
and generating data. In addition community organising principles
will be used to develop leadership skills in young people and to develop
a mechanism for articulating and delivering change locally.
