Episode 3: Our calls to Action

Hopes and Hiccups in the participatory research journeys of doctoral researchers

This series of podcasts emanates from a project which has been exploring the experiences of postgraduate researcher (or PGRs) communities across the university in relation specifically to participatory research. As part of our three part podcast series, the project team is joined by a small group of postgraduate researchers who have experience or an interest in participatory research. 

In this episode, we’re focused on a call to action and what we can collectively do to ensure we support and embed participatory research into our research cultures, with and for PGRs.
