Co-design is a research method in which researchers and participants work collaboratively to define the research question, methods, and outputs. It aims to empower participants and ensures that research projects are relevant to those involved. While co-design is often seen as particularly valuable in research with Indigenous populations, it also presents scientific and practical challenges. In this brown-bag lunch, we will discuss what co-design research methods are, when they are appropriate or necessary, and the key obstacles and issues that can arise when using them.
