Participatory Research Using Creative Methods<\/strong><\/p>\n

Historically an invisible migrant community, in recent years growing scholarly and public-policy attention has been paid to Latin American migration to the UK. This research has been paralleled by the increased visibility of community campaigns advocating for the rights of Latin American migrants, alongside the emergence of a rich creative and artistic field of diasporic cultural practices.<\/p>\n

This one-day workshop will explore the use of creative participatory methodologies in conducting research with the Latin American community in the UK. Bringing together academic researchers, activists and representatives of community groups, the workshop will highlight examples of innovative research practices led by Latin American migrants, as well as explore how creative and collaborative methodologies can enable more ethical research engagements between academics and migrant groups.<\/p>\n

The workshop will provide space for learning and experience-sharing about creative participatory methodologies between participants, as well as include an immersive memory-making activity. Funded by a grant from Research England, the workshop will also showcase the initial findings from a pilot participatory project, \u2018Caminando hacia la paz: ciclo de talleres participativos\u2019, led by Diaspora Woman, Community Centre Pueblito Paisa, the UK and Ireland Hub in support of the Colombian Truth Commission and the University of Reading, which brought together Colombian migrants and refugees to co-produce a series of creative outputs around the themes of conflict resolution, community and social transformation.<\/p>\n
