Research Workshop: Rethink Action Research and Interventionists Methods: an Appetizer

06.02.2014 | Associate Professor Britta Timm Knudsen, DAC

Dato ons 19 mar
Tid 12:00 17:00
Sted Aarhus University, building 5620, room 136

A core idea of rethinkIMPACTS 2017 is to develop interventionist methods of research and evaluation. The research workshop presents a wide range of scholars who use action research methods either as skilled practitioners or as newcomers and we invite all interested in joining our hopefully passionate discussions.

Action research is argued to be an adequate and creative paradigm for a human inquiry on knowledge-production as action. Knowledge is something we do and acquire in processestogether with other social actors rather than something some have. Action research is definitely an alternative to modern positivism and postmodern deconstruction by practicing a participatory worldview implying democratic and peer forms of inquiry.

This research workshop presents scholars from all over Denmark who use action research methods either as skilled practitioners or as newcomers and we invite all interested in joining our hopefully passionate discussions. The workshop includes guest professor Katherine Gibson, a highly skilled action researcher in community development.
