Abstract
This paper is a methodological contribu4on outlining an approach we have developed to recording ultrasound tongue imaging and audio research data as part of public engagement work. The paper is based on our experience of recording in East Lancashire, UK, at two such events as well as building on the work of other colleagues who have conducted similar projects. We have successfully managed to collect relevant ar4culatory research data while providing an interes4ng and enjoyable event for the public. In a context of stretched research budgets and researcher 4me constraints, this combina4on allows a 4me-effec4ve combina4on of tasks, whilst democra4sing academic work and engaging local communi4es. Our paper has two aims: 1) to describe the logis4cal and ethical considera4ons for organising an event combining ar4culatory research and public engagement, and 2) to provide methodological reflec4on on data collec4on and eventual data quality obtained including assessment of background noise. We hope to provide inspira4on and sugges4ons for colleagues wishing to pursue research in this area and also acknowledge where some of our methods would benefit from more effec4ve solu4ons. Sample documents for ethics, publicity, risk assessments, staff planning, 4melines, and budge4ng are included in our Supplementary Material toolkit available at hPps://osf.io/ky3cz/.
