The go-along research method
Laurie Taylor explores the 'go-along' research method with Alex Prior in Westminster鈥檚 corridors of power, and James Fletcher on how people with dementia navigate public transport.
How does the environment we move through shape the way we see and experience the world?
Laurie Taylor talks to Alex Prior (London South Bank University) about his research inside Westminster, where he walked alongside MPs and staff to uncover how the corridors of power feel different depending on who you are and what your job is.
James Fletcher from the University of Bath worked on a project exploring what it鈥檚 like to navigate the bus and tram routes of central Manchester while living with dementia. He looked at how familiar streets and transport systems change when memory and mobility are shifting and the implications of this.
What is the value of research conducted in this way and what are the downsides?
