Webinar on Wednesday 19th April: SWDTP Webinar Series: The Many Faces of Activist Research
This webinar, taking place on Wednesday 19th April 2-4pm online, explores theoretical, methodological, and practical tools for conducting what can be broadly defined as “activist research”. This is a form of research that challenges the traditional separation between theory/action, academy/society and is committed to producing knowledge grounded in and generative of social and material changes in particular places. There are many ways in which the intersection between these domains is understood and practiced: from “scholar-activism” and “militant research”, to “community experiments” and “participatory-action-research” and more.
Each Zoom webinar in the series will feature short presentations from three speakers and will have a chance for audience questions and answers.
For full information and speakers, please check out EventBrite. Register via EventBrite.
For any questions please contact Mary Pearson-Fearns.
