We are pleased to launch our new blogpost series: Think-Pieces

Researchers, statutory and third sector partners, academics, students and Participation Lab members share their reflections and experiences on doing participatory action research, community development work, citizen science and engaging with young people, families and communities, whether locally in Reading, nationally or internationally.

Our first blogpost is by Dr. Giuseppe Feola, University of Reading:
