Public Engagement and Humanities AHRC Award
The Humanities Research Institute has been awarded an AHRC Collaborative Skills Development Award for the student-led strand.
The project will be led by Jo Taylor at Keele and Kerry Astbury at Liverpool, and supervised by David Amigoni, pictured, and Liverpool's Matthew Bradley.
Entitled 'Crossing the bar: Public Engagement and Humanities Research', the project will develop the skills necessary for establishing mutually-beneficial public engagement relationships between postgraduate and early career Humanities researchers and community partners.
Two workshops will provide researchers in the North West with models of public engagement, and the skills necessary to build and sustain similar models in their own research practices.
The provisional partners include Staffordshire Archive Service, Johnson Birthplace Museum, Gladstone's Library and the Wordsworth Trust.
