Hello! Welcome to Week 3 - we'll be thinking through Cinthya's workshop today! Our first prompt for the week:
Cinthya describes the people she worked with in PAR as colleagues, collboarators, co-researchers, and that together they worked as a research collective.
How are language terms reflections of our methodologies of PAR, how can they shape power dynamics? What terms do/could we use in our research.
I've put up the second prompt over on the forum - feel free to move over there when you want!
I agree, "collective" definitely has its roots in activism and I felt that the use of this terminology reflected the transformative aims of Cinthya’s research ( as well as the importance of social justice throughout the research process).
Hi! I can start getting the ball rolling- I thought that Cinthya's use of the term "collective" was really exciting - I haven't heard this used before. I wonder if this possible to imagine a collective if PAR work is with many more people (it seems to work well with a small group?); or if i just have pretty conservative views about what a "collective" could be?
