action research

An Action Research Program

This program is both action (we want to create a
system) and research (we are trying to investigate a general question
about designing technology in 21st Century social action contexts).

Our (initial) question is:

How do we go about designing new e-practices in the space of technology and social action given:

3rd PRaDSA workshop: Technology and Social Action Research Summit – Loughborough, 29th and 30th November

We invite you to join the seven researchers accountable for the PRaDSA project to thrash out some of the underpinning philosophies of this work and plan evaluation of the activities. It is nearly our half-way mark in late November and time to take stock. In the process, we will be discussing the finer points of what social action means and what we can do with action research methods to understand it better and promote its growth. It's going to be a no-holds-barred discussion of what we are doing and why, to shape our practice and research questions - if this interests you and you want to plunge in, please let us know. To register interest, send a note to Kutoma Wakunuma at K.J.Wakunuma@shu.ac.uk as soon as possible.
