In December 2020, Bristol+Bath R+D launched our Inclusion Innovation Research Pots. The pots were designed off the back of a whole host of conversations within our staff team, research fellows, prototype teams and the creative technology sector at large.
Our conversations coalesced into 3 key themes:
Inclusive Governance
Inclusive Spaces
Inclusive Communities of Practice
We recognise that there is great work happening across these three themes all over Bristol and Bath, so we launched a callout for inclusion practitioners to respond with questions they were asking in their own work. Offering pots of funding to create space for people to 'test' ideas or processes and to share their observations and recommendations with us, so that together we can ask what ‘inclusion best practice’ looks like.
We are very excited to announce our researchers, they will spend the next three months asking questions and trying out new ideas to be more inclusive in their work.
Exploring Inclusive Spaces
Non-Conforming Bristol will be tackling inclusive tech head on, building AR spaces for queer and non-binary people.
Mitchell Wilson and Lilly Parr - How do you design a hybrid space to be open and safe? Hybrid in this sense refers to physical spaces augmented with a virtual overlay.
