Co-Production and Physical Activity
A day focussing on co-production research attending to questions of movement, physical activity and medical humanities.
Interested in co-production research in physical activity and medical humanities? Keen to learn more about co-production processes, inter-disciplinary collaborations, and think about where the field might be heading in the future? This one-day event will offer a day focussed on co-production research that centres on movement, physical activity and medical humanities.
We are very keen to welcome academics, lived-experience researchers, practitioners and anyone with an interest in the topic.
Across the day we will hear from a range of keynote speakers with a chance for Q&A. Drawing on a wide range of examples, the speakers will address topics including:
- What is co-production?
- Critical perspectives on co-production processes
- Co-production and Intersectionality
An afternoon roundtable session will offer space for discussion where we will particularly consider what is next for co-production?
There will be a range of different sessions including a hybrid keynote in the morning, followed by an afternoon roundtable discussion. Please see the agenda and speaker biographies below.
Please note that you can attend the morning sessions including the keynote in-person or online, but the rest of the day is in-person only.
This event is free to attend, and the Zoom details will be circulated closer to the date.
This event is jointly hosted by the Moving Social Work (MSW) project, Institute for Medical Humanities and the Moving Bodies Lab of the Discovery Research Platform for Medical Humanities.
