Mobilising Community Assets lived experience producer Kiz Manley and visual artist and researcher Celeste Burr-Herera have collaborated on an essay about the fundamental role of lived experience in community-based research. Taking on the challenges faced by people with lived experience and community researchers, Kiz Manley and Celeste Burr-Herera share insights and learnings from their experience and make a case for a more “trauma-competent approach”, laying the building blocks for a safer, more inclusive academic research environment.
The Mobilising Community Assets to Tackle Health Inequalities programme is a UKRI-AHRC-backed research programme committed to upholding the benefits of community-based research and placing lived experience at the core of the research process, enabling people with lived experience to hold leadership roles in a space often inaccessible to those without a traditional academic background.
That is why the Mobilising programme is proud to share this compelling piece of research advocating for the co-creation of a new kind of research space, where more community-based research projects can grow and thrive.
