Creative Research Methodologies – Thinking Outside the Box and Promoting Inclusion
Nikki Holliday, CU
Wednesday 17 January, 10.00-11.30,
Swan Room, Elm Bank Building
Creative research and data collections methods (e.g. co-creative methods including collage, drama, storytelling, prototyping, building with Lego®) offer participants multiple modalities in which to communicate and are thus more inclusive, provide rich data, and can help researchers to break down concepts which may be unfamiliar to the participant group (e.g. development of future technologies). This workshop will present emerging results from a systematic reviewing exploring the benefits and challenges of creative methodologies, as well as giving you an opportunity to get hands-on with some of the co-creative methods available, including Lego® SeriousPlay® and collage.
