Open and Engaged Conference 2021 - Understanding the Impact of Open in the Arts and Humanities Beyond the University
In Higher Education contexts, discussions around openness are often focused on the pathways to make publications, data or cultural objects openly available online. It is often not known what impact open resources can have for various communities beyond the research community.
The speakers at Open and Engaged 2021 will explore the different impacts that open resources can have on people. They will seek to question how openness enhances the ability to engage with communities, how projects can be sustainable and make positive changes in the long-term, as well as some of the downsides to current approaches to open engagement.
Many of the speakers come from the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) sector, and we will learn about ways cultural organisations generate, measure and report on impact, and seek useful connections across the higher education and cultural sectors.

Item type:Conference paper (unpublished), Best of both: combining arts and science to measure the benefits of online culture for mental health in young people(2021-11)Adams, HelenAn inter-disciplinary project undertaken by museum and psychiatry staff at the University of Oxford in 2020 set out to find out if online cultural content could be effective against common mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. The O-ACE (Online Active Community Engagement) project used traditional arts engagement research methods such as surveys and co-production alongside health status measures and psychometric tests as part of a randomised control trial of more than 400 participants. As a result, it generated new understanding of how GLAM [Galleries, Libraries and Museums] organisations can actively involve audiences in medical research and of how cultural interventions may positively impact individual wellbeing, prior to diagnosis, treatment or social prescribing pathways.
