For episode 7 of Research Adjacent my guest is (we think) the UK's only full-time university-based Creative Facilitator, Mary Robson. Mary works at the Institute for Medical Humanities at Durham University.

We talk about

1. What creative facilitation is and how it helps in research
2. Creating meaningful connections between diverse groups
3. Holding space for different experiences and opinions
4. Challenging the academic status quo
5. Sharing her creative facilitation approach
