Workshop Engaged scholarship and co-creativity: Are you a change agent?
Prof. Dr. L.G. (Ina) Horlings, chair in Socio-Spatial Planning, Department of Spatial Planning and Environment, University of Groningen, the Netherlands
This workshop deals with the role of researchers in place-based sustainable transformation. In order to bring about the much needed change responding to sustainability challenges and climate change researchers increasingly work with citizens and communities instead of doing research about them, while having varied roles and applying participative research approaches.
Engaged scholarship means being driven not simply by a desire to interpret and understand the world, but also to change it, aligning thought and action. Engaged scholarship is informed by (but not limited to) principles of Participatory Action Research, Militant Scholarship, Appreciative Enquiry, Care-full Scholarship and Transformative Research. Specific attention wil be paid to co-creativity, engaging with people and places.
During this interactive workshop the topic will be introduced and we will discuss your experiences as a researcher. Inspiration is drawn from the European Marie Curie ITN programs on Sustainable Place-shaping (www.sustainableplaceshaping.net) and Resourceful Communities (www.recoms.eu). Key questions are: What is your (normative) positionality and role as a researcher, how does this influence your choice of methods and how can this potentially contribute to sustainable transformation?
