Uncharacteristcally long 🧵 (sorry) re: #Qualitative methodologies, science, and 'AI'.

As Qualitative researchers, we should definitely care and remain curious about what 'good work' can look like - but we should be very wary about assuming that a focus on 'rigour' will address this question. 1/13

How could cities be designed to inspire more people to take up running?

Thought provoking piece👇
What makes a city great for running and how can we promote ‘runnability’ in urban design?
Even the type of street trees planted in a city can make a huge difference.
