While this mode of engagement can be empowering and impactful, it also raises a number of concerns:Identifying the stakeholders;Ethics and exploitation;Legal environments;Resources and project sustainability;Measuring the impact;From participation to scholarly outputThis masterclass will offer a platform for discussion of these ideas bringing together those interested in these topics, as both practitioners and theorists.
