Participatory research methods: an interdisciplinary writing and mentoring programme for emerging scholars in Turkey

This interdisciplinary writing and mentoring programme support Turkish early-career researchers in humanities and social sciences, with particular focus on academic writing on participatory research methods. Participatory research is broadly defined within this programme as an approach that involves stakeholders throughout the research process and aims to achieve positive social change.
Running until March 2027, the programme includes two in-person workshops and a bespoke mentoring scheme. Participants will develop writing skills, expand research networks, and learn about funding opportunities. A wider impact will be achieved through dissemination events and “train-the-trainer” seminars, ensuring sustainability and furthering knowledge exchange across academic communities. 15 participants will be selected to participate to the programme.
The programme is led by Northampton University (UK), in cooperation with Coventry University (UK), Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University (Turkey) and Yildiz Technical University (Turkey).
