Explore our Town! We built it from digital storytelling projects the third-year History, Philosophy, Politics and Sociology (HiPPS) students of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Anglia Ruskin University created from their dissertations for the Research Communications class in 2024.
The class, led by Dr. Andrea Kocsis, embraced the idea that there is no boring dissertation, just a boring way to talk about it. During the Research Communications class, the ARU HiPPS Town citizens learnt to identify their message, audience, and the most suitable formats to tell their stories. Among the solutions, you can find StoryMaps, games, interactive stories, social media campaigns, and infographics exploring research from the field of Social Sciences.
