Research Resources
Our core areas of research have been established between project partners within Wasteland Twinning as open structures for comparison and discussion. These headings are seen as guides to be reworked by the groups and individuals negotiating Twinning Activities and Ceremonies as specific research questions take shape.
Research questions might also be framed within interviews of site users as a means to generate a better understanding of audiences.
