Listen "And Towns: Understanding the role of culture in place-based decision-making"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The Policy Pod, we discuss And Towns, a series of AHRC-funded projects that develop culture-led solutions by working with places and communities. Dr Joseph Owen and Isaac Fravashi bring their knowledge and expertise on place-based approaches in the discussion of four different projects:
Towns and the Cultural Economies of Recovery: a scoping project examining how English towns understood the role of culture in their recovery from the pandemic
Feeling Towns: a knowledge exchange project exploring place attachment that uses creative methods to understand what pride means to different communities
Neighbouring Data: an interdisciplinary research project analysing the use of qualitative and creative data in local authority and community-led decision-making
Poetry, Policy and Place: a research project assessing the role of poetry as a tool for community engagement and for representing felt and lived experience
