Volunteers are the lifeblood of community radio. From our on air hosts to the back office and everything in between without volunteers community radio could not thrive.

But how do you attract, support and develop your volunteers in this changing volunteering landscape?

In this presentation, Clint Bertenshaw, Director: Sector Development and Engagement, from the Centre for Volunteering will provide you with insights and pragmatic approaches to:

  1. Embracing volunteer motivations and addressing their barriers
  2. Rethinking volunteering roles and programs for flexibility and sustainability
  3. 3. Revising volunteer recruitment and engagement strategies to attract a greater pool of volunteers

In support of the concepts discussed in the presentation, participants will learn of the suite of free tools and resources available through The Centre for Volunteering to support Volunteer Leaders, Station Managers and their volunteer programs.

 

Date: 3-4PM AEST, Tuesday, 28 May 2024

The trouble with community radio research, or, how methodological setbacks can inform theoretical development

Abstract
Participatory research design appears as an attractive option in the study of community media organisations. It puts the generation of the research question, the design of data collection methods, and the analysis of the results in the hands of the researched. This approach can demystify the research process and can be an empowering experience. But, as I found out with my doctoral research, the researcher needs to carefully assess an organisation’s capacity to undertake do-it-yourself research, because, when things go wrong, this approach can also reveal conflicts within an organisation, as well as give rise to tension resulting from the divergent needs of the researcher and those of the researched. This paper describes the troubles that arose during fieldwork conducted at a community radio station, how these unexpected events forced a reformulation of the research question, and how this eventually led to an improved theoretical insight.
