Arts-based research methods with underserved communities

A year-long collaboration between University College London and the University of the Witwatersrand produced a practical, interactive  toolkit for engaging underserved communities. This resource features 16 global case studies on topics like homelessness, migration and identity, and provides best-practice guidance on co-creation, trust-building and ethical engagement. It is designed to make research more inclusive, expressive and human-centered.
