Projects
Research may be published in different formats, disseminated for diverse audiences.
Peer-reviewed articles are the standard currency by which academic research is often shared and assessed.
Long form articles and especially books can allow for depth and rigour, but such modes of communication may not always be accessible to all.
The projects below showcase research published in different formats and spaces, shared for varied purposes for diverse audiences.
