Together We Create Series 2: What UCL's social scientists gain from collaborative partnerships

What do we mean when we talk about collaborative social science? Why is collaborative research useful? What are the standout themes of the collaborative projects featured in this second season of Together We Create? In this episode, we discuss these questions and more with Professor Carey Jewitt, Chair of UCL's Collaborative Social Science Domain. Carey Jewitt is Professor of Technology and Learning at the UCL Knowledge Lab, based in the Department of Culture, Communication and Media at the Institute of Education. She brings her interdisciplinary training from fine art and media, sociology, and multimodal discourse to research how the use of digital technologies shapes people’s interaction, communication, and learning in a variety of contexts.

What is Together We Create Series 2: What UCL's social scientists gain from collaborative partnerships?

Together We Create is a podcast series from UCL’s Collaborative Social Science Domain in which UCL social scientists share their stories, reflections, and top tips on collaborating with engineers, scientists, health practitioners, and designers and others, and discuss the benefits and challenges of taking a collaborative interdisciplinary approach to research.

Series 2
In Series 2 four UCL social scientists, who were awarded one of our Social Science Plus awards, talk about their pilot projects and what they gained from their cross-disciplinary partnerships. We hear about the complexities of living in outer space and on other planets, the issues surrounding E-scooters, children’s experience of social media and unsolicited sexual images, and the social life of environmental data.
