This blog shares learnings about a UCL workshop led by Naheen, Nicc, and Tania (with baby Maxim), aimed at helping students explore how to meaningfully co-produce research with people who have lived experience. It emphasized values like inclusivity, respect, and reflection, while addressing power dynamics, barriers, and the importance of genuine collaboration in academic projects.
