Running twice - Thursday 11th Sept 2pm-5pm & Wednesday 1st Oct 5.30pm-8.30pm.
This interactive workshop invites researchers to explore drawing as a creative tool for understanding, analysing, and communicating their work. No art skills needed, just your ideas, your data, and a willingness to experiment.
In this hands-on session, we’ll:
- Look at how drawing may help you familiarise yourself with your findings, reveal patterns, explore meanings, and share your work with wider audiences.
- Give you space (and materials) to engage with your own findings in alternative, expressive and embodied ways.
- Exchange ideas about how professional illustration could bring your research to life.
This event combines a creative methods workshop with a focus group, making it ideal for anyone curious about new approaches to engaging with and presenting their findings. As you experiment with drawing as an aid to research, the facilitators will explore techniques and applications alongside you, gaining insight into how you visualise data and how you might collaborate with illustrators in the future.
Who should attend:The workshop is open to researchers at all levels of experience but it may be of most interest to those in social sciences.
—Please come with research questions, concepts, or findings in mind to work with—
Please note: Spaces and materials are limited so please only book a ticket if you’re sure you will attend. This way, everyone who wants to take part has the chance to join in. Thank you!
These workshops are funded by MMU's Health and Education Doctoral College Research Innovation Fund and hosted in our inspiring poetry library near All Saints Park off Oxford Rd.
