Creative Facilitation: Transforming understandings and approaches to interdisciplinary and cross-sector research

The Institute for Medical Humanities (IMH) conducts interdisciplinary research with colleagues and partners from a considerable range of faculties, disciplines, departments, and sectors. Sustaining interdisciplinarity is difficult work and to address this challenge the IMH hosts an in-house Creative Facilitator called Mary Robson. With extensive experience in creative practice, from theatre design to community-based arts in health and education, Mary Robson is tasked with bringing creative approaches into the academy as a facilitator for interdisciplinary research teams and projects. 

This report was commissioned by IMH to unpack what Creative Facilitation is, to explore how people have experienced Mary's Creative Facilitation in different contexts and the impacts using this approach has had.
