Mixed methods and creative approaches for migration research

04 April 2024

Mixed methods that integrate participatory and creative techniques have a tremendous potential to help create spaces where research collaborators have control over their stories and research outcomes. Nevertheless, they also have huge ethical and cost implications. This seminar will present the methodological approach used to explore processes of decision making and empowerment among women and gender-diverse survival migrants in three Mexican cities. This research methodology used photovoice, surveys, life-story interviews, and sustained social media contact with research collaborators. Participants were approached by engaging with 10 civil society organisations which involved complex power dynamics that will also be discussed in the seminar.

Considering Collaboration: Lessons from the ‘Pathways to Work for Muslim Women’ project

13 June 2024

This session will explore the presenter’s experiences of working collaboratively with third-sector organisations to create impact from academic research projects. Dr Asma Khan will focus on a project in which she co-designed a workshop programme to encourage and motivate those Muslim women who want to join, or re-join, the labour market. The session will include reflections on the benefits and challenges of co-production in ways that will benefit other researchers who are thinking ahead to developing collaborative impact and engagement activities with third-sector organisations.
