Designing and Managing Citizen Science (BIOS0039)

Developing on key themes introduced in 'Foundations of Citizen Science' (term 1) and the practical
experience gained through the concurrent module 'The Practice of Citizen Science' (term1-2), this
course will develop your familiarity with the organisational, political and ethical considerations of
citizen science projects by exploring people, policy, power, along with risk and failure. Successful
projects are underpinned by good communication, recruiting the right team members, continued
evaluation, and progressive adaptation; you will learn how to ensure complex citizen science projects
are designed and managed for the best possible outcome, understand how outputs are used to
shape policy, and gain the skills needed to assimilate results and evaluate projects to inform next
steps and future work.

Critical Spatial Practice: Site-Writing (BARC0077)

BARC0077 is designed to impart skills in the development of site-writing as a form of critical spatial practice. Critical spatial practice (Rendell, 2006) defines an approach to site-specific practice comprising projects which critique the sites into which they intervene, as well as question their own disciplinary limits. Site writing (2010) is a textual mode of critical spatial practice which considers situatedness and positionality in relation to writing, specifically in terms of voice, style, word and page, and explores how voice and textual strategies can be adopted as ways of responding to sites.
