Episode Transcript

Abigail Harrison Moore (00:02):
Welcome to Whose Power? a podcast exploring the power of participation to create new knowledge and understanding about power, who holds it, how it's used, and how and when to challenge it. I'm Professor Abigail Harrison Moore from the University of Leeds, and together with members of the Preservative Party, an inspiring group of young curators based at Leeds City Museum, we've been exploring how participation can empower young people to break down traditional barriers and influence the way museum exhibitions are curated and presented. So, if like me, you're interested in how we can truly create new knowledge and understanding through participatory research, why not join me in conversation with members of the group to find out how we're learning together what it really means to make waves in the museum sector, and bring about positive change for people. The Whose Power podcast is produced with funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and with podcast production support from Research Podcasts. Episode one drops in July. So, join us wherever you discover your podcasts. And make sure to follow us on X @presparty to join in the discussion and find out more about the Preservative Party
