Future Creating Workshop: Participatory Action Research to address climate

This is our follow-up to Creating meaningful change in communities to address climate change, through participatory Action Research. 28th January to address climate change,

This method was developed by colleagues from Roskilde University in Denmark as part of their work on Critical Utopian Action Research. It’s a great way to engage groups in developing a shared understanding of the challenges they face, a vision of how they would like things to change, and strategies to reach those common goals.

Mary Brydon-Miller, Ph.D. is Professor in the College of Education and Human Development at the University of Louisville in the US and is currently serving as Extra-ordinary Professor at North-West University in South Africa and adjunct faculty at the University of Technology, Sydney.

She is a participatory action researcher who conducts work in school, community, and organizational settings. She is the editor, with David Coghlan, of the SAGE Encyclopedia of Action Research (2014).
