Creative Methods – part II
The final session of our Researching Youth Seminar Series re-visits Creative Methods. As a growing field in youth research that takes a participatory approach, creative methods privileged other forms of representation, knowing and being.
Discussing participatory and creative methods in the context of a qualitative study, ‘Rethinking Impact, Evaluation and Accountability in Youth Work’ (ESRC ES/R004773/1), Tania de St Croix and Louise Doherty share experiences of spontaneous and informal uses of ‘chatterbox’ peer interviewing, photovoice, and music elicitation. They will also present and discuss a short film, ‘The value of youth work’, made by young participants as part of the study.
‘Following Young Fathers Further’ (FYFF) is a UKRI funded study (2020-2024) exploring the parenting journeys and support needs of young fathers with co-creation as a key ethos underpinning its work. One of the FYFF team, Laura Way, will share how creative, participatory methods have been used in this longitudinal study thus far, focusing on zine making, peer research and collaborative film-making.
To conclude the seminar (and the series), this session will offer a creative activity designed to connect all attendees at the end.

PSA
Since 1950, the objectives of our Association have been ‘to promote the development of political studies and to encourage education and the advancement of learning in the art and science of government and in other branches of the political sciences’. From democracy to dictatorship and local councils to international organisations, Political Studies examines how power is obtained, kept, lost, mobilised, divided, used and abused. It asks who gains and who loses from these processes and why. Politics is studied in theory and in practice, often using scientitic methods.
