Researching Young People’s Wellbeing: Place-Based and Creative Methodologies

This online workshop, designed for PGRs in their first or second year of study, will introduce participants to place-based and creative research methods aimed at eliciting young people’s experiences and perspectives on their wellbeing. The training will appeal to you if you are interested in research with young people, including place-based methods, creative and co-produced approaches.

Trainer Dr Aniela Wenham is Senior Lecturer in Social Policy at the University of York. She has a long-standing interest in youth policy and inequality, focusing on the intersection between policy and practice. Her research has focused on vulnerable young people with areas of interest including youth homelessness, young parenthood and young people’s experiences of wider family services provision and support. More recently, she has focused on place-based inequalities, looking more closely at the experiences of growing up in coastal towns. Her areas of methodological expertise include qualitative longitudinal research and qualitative participatory arts-based methods with young people.
