Action research is a form of intervention into the public pedagogy of objects, signs, ideas, and practices of our everyday world. The research itself is a conscious effort to change conditions. Envision potentials. Develop empowering actions. Course participants will learn how to conduct critical action research that develops, leads to, implements, and assesses a genuinely well-informed social action in the midst of an emerging teaching and learning landscape. Course topics include: Critical Action Methodologies, Arts-based Research, Narrative Inquiry, Sculpted Embodied Analysis, Layered Analysis, and Reciprocal-reflexivity. Reciprocal-reflexivity involves seeing from multiple positionalities, revealing differential power relations, and disclosing who benefits from the research.
