Beth Uzwiak directs Story Research.
Story Research provides community-based research, evaluation, and engagement. We strategize with partners across public art, culture, and health sectors to improve outcomes. We specialize in participatory and place-based approaches that contribute to the vitality of neighborhoods and communities.
As Director, Beth prioritizes cultural ethnographic methods, a valuation that comes from deep engagement with communities and the conviction that we need to tell our own stories. Stories reveal how we make sense of the world—the policies that shape our everyday lives, how we change structures that don’t serve us, how we innovate, and how we create joy in the places we steward.
