"Researchers who use creative methods are at risk of finding ways to express themselves, learn, and have fun." (Kara 2020:237)
Date: 11-12 September 2023
Venue: The Studio, 51 Lever St, Manchester M1 1FN
Helen Kara founded this two-day hybrid conference to bring together people with an interest in creative research methods. Keynote speakers are the renowned experts in creative practices Pam Burnard and Caroline Lenette. There will also be presentations and activities in breakout rooms, and scope for going out into the city to try creative outdoor methods.
