The Gender Hubcast: Exploring Participatory Methods to Tell the Stories of Research

In this episode Hubcast guests - Evelyn Pauls, Will McInerney and Nicky Armstrong - discuss what it means to use participatory methods when telling the stories of research. 
Our guests discuss the "Story of the Hub" project, where they worked to tell the stories of 39 research projects in an individual and collective manner, using a participatory model. They delve into the reasons for working this way and the benefits of using such an approach. They also  discuss some of the challenges and core aspects that should be thought through from a storytelling, impact and communications perspective.
