PARTICIPATE

Designing for Equity, mobility and Agency

As members of PARTICIPATE we aim to operate in way that are:

  • Collaborative, bridging different bodies of knowledge through interdisciplinary and participatory approaches, often by working in partnership with civil society and professional organisations;
  • Interdisciplinary, developing dialogues across and within existing disciplinary frameworks, theories and methodologies through historical and contemporary approaches;
  • Empowering, using methods and approaches that build agency and capacity of grassroots actors as well as researchers and students involved;
  • Supportive, nurturing the talents of early-career researchers and PhD students in the cluster through sharing of good research practice, involvement in joint projects and providing constructive feedback on each other’s work;
  • Empathetic, understanding lived experiences despite gendered, developmental and intersectional differences;
  • People-centred, enhancing wellbeing and quality of life through improved equity, justice and inclusion.
