Participating the Participatory

  • Europe

Our research will seek to understand how researchers can benefit from the cross-cultural exchange, cross-disciplinary collaboration, decolonial and intersectional feminist pedagogies. Today many institutions foster and emphasize the importance of inclusive learning environments, but the question of how this inclusiveness is being manifested within their research practice remains largely unexplored. Participatory design of research seems to provide an answer across a variety of disciplines from academic research to community art projects. While many institutions share manuals on tools, methods, and techniques for participatory engagement with communities/subjects of study it remains a question how one could adopt techniques and methodologies he/she is used to working within the context of a given community.

So, the research process within this group will revolve around the meaning, power, and potential of different participation techniques to create a common space and ensure inclusiveness.
