Time: 13.30 – 14.30 BST
Explore the role of visual storytelling in doing good public involvement and engagement in data research.
Drawing on work with the Wessex Secure Data Environment, Anna Feigenbaum – Professor of Media and Digital Storytelling at the University of Glasgow – shares examples of co-created resources, including animations, videos and games, that help connect with diverse communities. Discover how this approach which involves researchers, creatives and communities, can build trust and counter misinformation by providing a space for people to explore their hopes and fears around data.
This session is part of a series of webinars exploring how you can use the PEDRI Good Practice Standards for public engagement in data research.
