Social Sciences Impact Conference 2023 – Learning from children and young people as researchers

Young people embody hope for the future and yet are often overlooked as a group that can meaningfully contribute to the research that their lives could be shaped by. In this panel discussion you will hear from three projects that examine how to take children seriously – whether in relation to their life experiences, as a key group that have a right to be engaged about issues that affect their generation, or as partners in research engagement activity in their own right.

Speakers:

Cath Hill, Lancaster University; Louise Vaughan, National Emergencies Trust; Jake Hill, Alicia Taylor, Ellie Taylor, Ava Turner, Abi Quinn: ‘Bee The Difference Project: Collaborating with young Manchester Arena survivors to make change’

Michaela James, Swansea University: ‘CORDS: Co-production of research direction and strategy with children and young people’

Helen Wadham, Manchester Metropolitan University: ‘Big world, small world: Animals, the city and me’

The Social Sciences Impact Conference 2023 was hosted by the University of Oxford’s Social Sciences Division, together with our partner universities: The Open University, Oxford Brookes University and the University of Reading.
