    This one-day course explores the transformative potential of action research as a collaborative, ethical, and practice-oriented approach to knowledge creation. Drawing on diverse traditions—including participatory, relational, and social constructionist perspectives—participants will engage with the foundational "why" of action research: to democratize knowledge, foster inclusion, and generate change that matters. The course also focuses on the "how," offering methodological insights and practical tools from real-world case studies in education, health, and welfare. Through dialogue, reflexive exercises, and shared inquiry, participants will examine issues of power, positionality, and co-creation. Whether new to action research or looking to deepen their practice, attendees will leave with enhanced understanding, renewed commitment, and a relational framework for conducting impactful research with—not on—communities.

    This course is designed for scholars, practitioners, and community organizers interested in research as a pathway to both understanding and transformation.
