THE PODCAST
Episode 3 - Bridging Data, Lived Experience & Co-Production
What happens when research is designed and carried out with people it's about, and not just on them? Carrie Wilson is joined by Dr Nikki Luke from the Rees Centre, University of Oxford, to explore practical ways to blend admin data, mixed methods, and lived experience, without losing the human story.
We dig into examples of good co-production in research such as the Oxford research project led by Nikki measuring success as defined by care leavers, design choices that reduce harm, and how commissioners can fund inclusion well.
Listen in for concrete steps you can take this month to make your research more relational, inclusive, and trauma-informed.
What we cover
Why trauma-informed and co-produced research reduces harm and increases impact.
How to blend data, mixed methods, and lived experience without losing the human story.
Practical design approaches — co-analysis, reflective supervision, consent as a process, and wellbeing budgets.
Learning from major studies such as “Measuring Success for Care Leavers.”
Building a healthy and ethical data culture through the co-produced collection and analysis.
