Quote 1:
“We must remember that all research derives from the individual or community. Leaving the community out of the research process is therefore a disservice to them”
Quote 2:
“A constraint is that teaching citizen-led research methods isn’t an option… however, if we craft a good design we may persuade the supervisors that the citizen-led approach is viable”
