The volume focuses on the creative and dynamic ways that people in African contexts are using their leisure time, having fun, being creative, and engaging in forms of expressive culture.

Through surveys and in-depth interviewing, we will also gather perspectives from development economists and African research participants regarding their experiences with RCTs and their expectations about if, when, and how results should be returned.

Interviewing participants and truly caring about what they have to say is at the heart of doing it right. Learning with participants instead of just learning about them... Perspective, Perspective, Perspective.

5-year NSF CAREER award through the Science and Technology Studies (STS) program area, and work began in 2019.

focused on the needs and experiences of people who inject drugs (PWIDs).
This to me is beautiful research and I would go as far as to call it "care research". We do not know how to treat people if we don't know their needs and experiences. This is fully person centered research and I believe it is THE way to do human research.
