PP - Practical, Political, and Professional Considerations of Community-based Research on Digital Media & Learning [Webinar]
April 21, 2015 –
Etherpad for webinar discussion Professional Pathways Unit 2 Main Page
Description: What are the opportunities and challenges of participatory and community-based work? What value does academic research bring to community partners? What can academic researchers learn from participatory research? And how can junior scholars embarking on community-based research be better equipped to build relationships, create positive impact, and leverage this type of work for their professional progression? This first webinar addresses these questions and other practical and ethical considerations, with help from two seasoned practitioners who will share their stories and insights, and respond to your questions.
Structure: During the live webinar, facilitators and invited participants will discuss their experiences in participatory and community based research and design. The DML Commons community can add notes, questions, and relevant resources for the discussion in the shared Etherpad. After the webinar, we will compile these resources and link them permanently to the unit page for future reference.
As a way of sharing and promoting examples of existing participatory and community-based research/design, we invite all unit participants to highlight and discuss relevant projects or resources that they know of or have been a part of. Using Twitter and/or DMLCommons blogs and the hashtag #dmlcommons, we can share resources, reflect on our own experiences and provide practical advice for fellow participatory researchers. Together, we can create a collection of example projects to inspire more community-based research!
Facilitators: Alicia Blum-Ross, Melissa Brough, Anna Keune
Special Guests: Julian Sefton-Green, Nancy Erbstein
