In this podcast Les Back talks to Charlynne Bryan about her experience of taking part in the project Les undertook with Shamser Sinha which explored the possibility of a more 'sociable sociology'. This project experimented with treating participants as co-authors and Charlynne reflects on her experiences of engaging with the opportunities and risks attached to participating in a project of this sort.
