Workshop: Translating research findings to engage wider audiences: Exploring creative approaches and visual outputs
In this workshop, Katy will introduce a range of creative and visual research outputs. She will discuss the process of turning text-based research findings into both a graphic, comic format and also a board game format. She will outline the benefits of doing this (as well as the potential pitfalls) in relation to creating research impact.
You can view the 30-page research-informed comic about student debt and graduate decision-making here: https://www.srhe.ac.uk/downloads/vigurs-katy-003.pdf
