When: Tuesday, 21st June, 09.30 – 12.00 via WebEx (online).
This session will explore case studies of undertaking participatory research work in the context of covid – drawing on both the work of the Safer Young Lives Research Centre’s Young Research Advisory Panel (YRAP) and a range of project specific participatory research experiences undertaken by the team and partners during Covid-19 both in the UK and LMIC with young people affected by forms of violence and abuse.
It will consider additional challenges and opportunities posed by remote working and their relationship to ethics and participant safety. Examples of strategies for dealing with some of these challenges will be shared and time spent considering how they may be adapted in different cultural contexts.
