Citizen Researcher: Empowering Communities Through Science | Nouf Al Hamly & Rawdha Al Mansoori

In this Outline event, we talked to associate director of NYUAD Research Public Outreach Nouf Al Hamly and research public engagement specialist Rawdha Al Mansoori about their latest project, Citizen Research at NYU Abu Dhabi. The project, inspired by the global movement of Citizen Science and driven by the mutual benefit that can exist when professional researchers and members of the public work alongside one another, was developed to engage members of the public in NYUAD research.

About Outline:

Outline is a process-focused conversation that looks at guests’ individual projects rather than their full bodies of work. The conversation sketches the journey of the project; the spark of curiosity that led to the project, the process of implementing the idea, the struggles that emerged throughout the implementation, and the aftermath of the project that includes new questions and new ideas. The name “Outline” stems from the idea of creating a retroactive project outline which is part of a broader emphasis on the process of curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking from a nuts and bolts perspective. Outline is not discipline-specific; the series will be held with artists, academics, writers, filmmakers, among others. Join the live audience: https://www.afikra.com/rsvp
