Considering Collaboration: Lessons from the ‘Pathways to Work for Muslim Women’ project
With Dr Asma Khan (Cardiff University)
Thursday, 13 June 2024, 2-3pm
This online Methods North West seminar explores the presenter’s experiences of working collaboratively with third-sector organisations to create impact from academic research projects. The Seminar will focus on a project featuring a co-designed workshop programme to encourage and motivate Muslim women who want to join, or re-join, the labour market. It includes reflections on the benefits and challenges of co-production - in particular collaborative impact and engagement activities with third-sector organisations.
The ‘researched’ as bearers of knowledge: breaking the barriers of colonial practices in ethnography
With Leah Koumentaki (Keele University)
Thursday, 18th April, 2-4pm
This online Methods North West seminar aims to illustrate how the cultural temperament of the locals and the cultural norms within the research area positively affect the shaping of data collection methods and research approaches. It is concluded that in a local cultural context such as Mountain Crete, ‘living ethnography’ instead of simply ‘doing ethnography’ was a culturally appropriate approach for conducting ethical research and collecting raw evidence for understanding the local population and the reasons why they prefer their customary systems to justice with how they employ a restorative way of correcting a wrong.
