The fourth event in\u00a0the ESRC funded seminar series \u2018Towards equal and active citizenship: pushing the boundaries of participatory research with people with learning disabilities\u2019, will be taking place on April 10th 2014 at The Open University.\u00a0This event will explore commonalities and differences in inclusive research involving different groups of people.<\/p>\n
Presentations\u00a0will explore participatory research with people with dementia; with looked after children and young people; with people who use mental health services and their carers; and people with learning disabilities. These presentations will enable us to consider the factors that shape a participatory approach to research with different groups, so that we can reflect upon what unites this work, as well as instances of diverging practice. What can researchers learn from each other\u2019s experiences? How might this influence the participatory research agenda in the future?<\/p>\n
\u00a0The purpose of this event is to:<\/p>\n
The first three events in the seminar series\u00a0have reviewed the landscape of participatory research with people with learning disabilities, explored the process of inclusive data analysis, and considered the ways in which people with high support needs have been enabled to participate in research, and the barriers that make this difficult.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
