Title Researchers giving voice in a community Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet We Are UKRI (Instagram) Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 11/12/24 Description Skateboarding is a deep-rooted part of the cultural heritage of Portrush, NI – but skaters are often stigmatised by their local communities.
Dr Jim Donaghey’s research with the skaters of Portrush helped demonstrate the value of skateboarders as a creative community, and gave them a voice and profile in the town they’ve been lacking for decades.
To see more of Jim and his work, follow the YouTube link in our bio, and for more on how research can break down barriers, search ‘creative communities’.URL https://www.instagram.com/weareukri/reel/DDcER5gRPwf/ Persons Jim Donaghey
