Action Research to Examine the Interruption of Social Inequalities

Do you think that your research can contribute to interrupting social inequalities? Would you consider action research to examine and support positive and sustainable changes in society? This one-day event aims at developing your understanding of action research and social justice to investigate social inequalities, and your identity as an agent of change/advocate/activist.

Through the different sessions planned, we will raise awareness of the ways in which action research can interrupt social inequalities, generate research solutions to accelerate and enhance frames of action for social change informed in the arts, the humanities, and the social sciences, and bring together doctoral researchers from different disciplines to imagine research projects with academic, societal, and policy impact.

By the end of the event,you will be able to: (a) understand the transformative role of action
research projects to interrupt social inequalities, (b) design creative and interdisciplinary solutions for action research-based projects, and (c) create research projects with an inclusive dissemination strategy.
Introductory knowledge of action research is required. Prior to the event, you will receive materials (e.g. articles) to get you started. Coffee breaks, snacks, and lunch will be provided.
