iHuman

Disruptive research into what it means to be human from scholars and researchers in the fields of Science and Technology Studies and Critical Disability Studies.

How we do research

Inclusive culture

iHuman is dedicated to the promotion of inclusive, supportive and facilitative ways of working that support our researchers and professional services colleagues.

We are committed to the Concordat on Researcher Development and actively involved in a number of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion initiatives. 

Members of iHuman are also involved with the Wellcome Anti-ableist Research Culture (WAARC) project: A Wellcome Trust Institutional Funding for Research Culture Award which centres disability as the phenomenon through which to rethink positive research culture from recruitment, to working conditions, to research methods and dissemination.

Participatory Research

Our researchers work as part of the Participatory Research Network at the University of Sheffield (PRN@TUoS).

The PRN is an established cross-faculty initiative bringing together like-minded researchers who use – or are interested in using – participatory methods in their work, led by Dr Kirsty Liddiard
