These are methods that either utilise the natural environment, or involve arts-based activities (such as music, photography, visual or performance arts) in order to address the research questions posed.

Understanding and communicating the impact and potential benefits of research to a wide audience is an increasingly important task for higher education professionals. From realising the economic and social benefits of research work, to engaging with key industry and government contacts to create real-life impact, communicating the power of research has never been so important.

Now the University of Glasgow has established ‘Research Impact: Making a Difference’, a new short on-line course which shows those working with research how to better understand, create and communicate research impact.

Throughout his career, visionary Colombian sociologist Orlando Fals Borda argued against the concept that research should be seen as a playground for an academic elite. With a conviction of the need for more and more feeling-thinkers (sentipensantes) in contemporary times, his vision for true democratic research was straightforward: “Do not monopolise your knowledge nor impose arrogantly your techniques, but respect and combine your skills with the knowledge of the researched or grassroots communities, taking them as full partners and co-researchers.”
