New UCL Citizen Science Academy project with Westway Trust

This project brings together 8 citizen scientists to research what the local residents of North Kensington perceive a ‘good life’ to mean to them. Using qualitative research methods including walking ethnographies, photo-elicitation interviews, and sensory mapping, the citizen scientists will use story-telling techniques to identify and share findings about what makes a good life in North Kensington, and how this could be improved.

This UCL Citizen Science Academy project is a collaboration between the Institute for Global Prosperity at UCL, The University of Manchester and the Westway Trust team in North Kensington, London. It is funded as part of a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship led by Dr Constance Smith (Social Anthropology, The University of Manchester). The findings will be used to inform how the Westway Trust works with local residents.
