'Researching the Researcher, Noticing why it wanders' READ (Research Ecologies & Archival Development) Lab at the School of Commons develops, presents and collects theory within the broader field of knowledge production. Over the 10-months spent together, the 5 READ researchers met bi-weekly, initially, and slightly more sporadically thereafter, to discuss their research and projects and present updates, questions, concerns, challenges, and anything else they felt necessary or relevant. The sessions grew into a support system, and has resulted in a series of postings published directly on the School of Commons website, regarding each individual research, as well as this collective publication, put together by: Band of Burnouts, Amy Gowen, Betül Aksu, Charlotte Friedli, Sid Smith, which focuses on their roles as researchers.
This is a short, introductory glimpse into their processes.
