Participants sought for innovative study

The King’s Russia Institute is seeking participants for an innovative study due to take place in March.

Researchers are inviting Russian citizens who have recently relocated to London to take part in a study focused on developing a new art-based methodology in sociology.

The study will involve two stages; the first being a two-hour art session taking place in a small group setting at King’s. A follow-up session will then see participants invited back to the university for a group interview to reflect on their experiences and discuss any potential therapeutic effects of the session.

Researchers hope the work will help them create and test a new method that allows social scientists to explore subjective experiences, perceptions, and emotions in times of crisis.

Participants will be offered a voucher in exchange for their participation.
