PGR experiences doing participatory research: PRN Showcase & Human Library Event

This event is for PGRs at The University of Sheffield only.

Come along to this interactive session to share and learn about PGR experiences doing participatory research. We’ll start with a presentation of findings from a Research England-funded project, run by the Participatory Research Network (PRN), that explored PGR experiences doing participatory research at Sheffield. This will be followed by a Human Library session—a relaxed, peer-led space to connect with fellow PGRs and members of the PRN committee. Together, we’ll dive into key themes including:

• Reimagining ethics

• Rethinking funding & timelines

• Support & training needs

• Creative research methodologies

Whether you’re new to participatory research or have lots to share, this is a chance to reflect, exchange ideas, and build a community.
