What happens if we put \u2018the public\u2019 at the centre of our efforts to conceptualise, conduct and evaluate publicly engaged research? <\/p>\n

Written by Dr. Nick Mahony, a new Open University pamphlet outlines a public-centric approach to engagement you can make use of in your own settings.<\/p>\n

\u2018Designing public-centric forms of public engagement with research\u2019 by Dr. Nick Mahony is available for free download<\/a>, under a Creative Commons licence<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drawing on insights from recent empirical research and key strands of the theoretical literature on the public the pamphlet foregrounds a set of questions you can ask at key stages of the engagement process to help you make choices about how you will engage.<\/p>\n

\"Designing<\/a>

Designing \u2018public-centric\u2019 forms of public engagement with research. Cover Design: Peter Devine<\/p><\/div>\n

The public-centric approach is designed to support researchers working across all disciplines that are involved in publicly engaged research projects. <\/p>\n

By helping to make sense of the public in public engagement, the pamphlet also sets out to contribute to wider on-going debates and developments concerned with improving the effectiveness of public engagement with research.<\/p>\n\n

This pamphlet is one outcome of the Open University\u2019s RCUK-funded Public Engagement with Research Catalyst, ‘An open research university<\/a>‘. Nick was a Co-investigator on this project, leading the work package that explored the publics of engaged research. <\/p>\n
