Abstract
This is the second workshop of a two-part series focusing on research from a relational and constructionist perspective.
A focus on research as relational highlights the generative capacities of research, through a commitment to contributing to different futures and maximizing collective innovation. This lens assumes that the processes that generate knowledge are founded upon collaboration. It also stresses the importance of participants contributing with their abilities, knowledge, interests, experiences, and stories in order to co-create new findings and practices that enrich the daily lives of people. This stance alters the researcher-as-expert position and turns all participants into collaborators that share their experience, operating as co-designers and co-participants.
Workshop Part Two - Peer Consultations (2 hours)
Topic: Exploring our research projects and ideas from the lens of relational research. Exploring research methodologies from the lens of relational research.
This workshop will offer an opportunity to work in consulting teams, learning about each others’ research and ideas and exploring how this proposed lens of relational research might be integrated into and strengthen their endeavors. We will also explore and play with different methodological implications from a relational research perspective.
