We heard from MA Cities alumni @headsandlands on “Exploring Creative Research Methods” this week. Students engaged in auto-photography to capture ‘community’ on campus📸✨The session fostered critical reflection on the benefits and challenges of creative methods in urban studies.

@austerityalters @BudworthPoppy @e_ackerley @TheAlisonBriggs @morgancentre @soc_researcher @Sarah_M_Hall @InspireOldham @UKRI_News @UoMUrban @GeographyUOM Thanks for such a great symposium yesterday. The excellent planning and organising made for a really warm (don't think I've said that about an academic event before!) and engaging event. I was just sad I had to dip in and out due to other commitments. Well done to all involved.
