Studying Movement, Hybridity and Change (Vossoughi & Gutierrez, 2014): Elements of a multisited sensibility
- learning as movement across borders and contexts
- practices are developed across time and space
- phenomenon studied across 2 or more activity systems
Multisited sensiblity and equity (Vossoughi & Gutierrez, 2014)
central to equitable research with non-dominant communities
resisting deficit:
- learning as an ongoing process
- learning as happening across settings
- these processes and shifts as units of analysis
- beyond normative definitions of what counts as learning
- vertical and horizontal forms of learning
- understanding participants on their own terms
- concerned with displacement, hybridity and multiply constituted subjectivities
multisited sensibility and immigrant and diasporic communities (Vossoughi & Gutierrez, 2014)
everyday practice is interplay between transnational, national and local contexts
multisited sensibility: who/what do you follow? (Vossoughi & Gutierrez, 2014)
people
thing
metaphor
plot/story
biography
conflict
(song)
etc.
Social Design Based Research
(G&J, 2016)
an approach to design research that is organized around a commitment to transforming the educational and social circumstances of members of nondominant communities as a means of promoting social equity and learning
Goals of Social Design Based Research
(G&J, 2016)
- organize viable pathways for non-dominant communities to participate in and create new forms of social action
- contextualize pathways in cultural historicity
- transform social and educational institutions in the process
- conscious historical actors who design for their own futures
How does Social Design Based Research accomplish its goals?
(G&J, 2016)
- syncretism in design: reconciliation of non-dominant repertoires of practices with conflicting dominant forms
- center equity and social transformation in the design and implementation
- meaningful involvement of partners and communities
Design-Based Research (as described in G&J 2016; Getal 19)
- issues related to study of learning and instruction
- formative intervention
- ecologically valid experimentation
- context-sensitive
- problem-focused
- innovative approaches for educational improvement
- study learning in the real world
- understand how complex ecologies support learning
- beyond narrow measures of learning
What Social Design Based Research adds to DBR
(G&J, 2016)
- part of the process of social transformation of social institutions and their relations
- equity as a goal
- building critical consciousness (historicity) alongside access to cultural capital
Syncretism (Social Design Based Research
(G&J, 2016))
reconciliatin of non-dominant repertoires of practice with conflicting dominant forms
Community-Based Design Research (Bang et al, 2016): Responding to what calls?
- for creative, deliberate and consequential interventions
- engagement between cultural community psychology and CHAT
Community-Based Design Research (Bang et al, 2016): Goals
- formative interventions
- decolonizing methodologies
- social-design experiments
- cultural-community psychology
- CHAT
- AXIOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS
Community-Based Design Research (Bang et al, 2016): What is it informed by?
- Transformative praxis
- Social transformation
- Improving the well-being of communities
- Justice-oriented interventions
- Cultivating axiological innovations
Community-Based Design Research (Bang et al, 2016): How are its goals achieved?
- Learning across generations
- strategic transformation of institutional relations
In practice:
- privileges and engages indigenous ways of knowing
- decenters research institutions
- positions humans as part of the natural world
- shift from object-oriented to relationality focused
Axiological Innovations (Community-Based Design Research (Bang et al, 2016))
theories
practices
values
ethics
aesthetics
…of communities
“what is good, right, true and beautiful”
^how these shape meaning making
Participatory Design Research (B&V, 2016): connected traditions / sensibilities
DBR
Design Based Implementations Research
Formative Interventions
Social Design Experiments
Researcher-Practitioner Partnerships
Community-based design experiments
Participatory Design Research (B&V, 2016): Connections to participatory resaerch
- PAR
- YPAR
- Collaborative Action Research
- Decolonizing methodologies
Participatory Design Research (B&V, 2016): Commonalities across connected traditions and other forms of participatory research
attend to normative power dynamics are reinscribed into roles and relations b/w ‘researcher’ and ‘researched’
deliberately disrupt or create new roles and relations for TRANSFORMATIVE ENDS
Participatory Design Research (B&V, 2016): Difference b/w connected traditions and other forms of participatory research
Other research may be achieving the relational commitments of PDR, but are not making it as explicit as PDR calls for
Elements of Participatory Design Research (B&V, 2016)
- is a theory and a method
- commitments to collaborative design processes
- critiques of normative hierarchies of power
- imagining possible futures
- attention to what forms of knowledge are generated how, why, where, and by whom
Participatory Design Research attends to the way in which ________ shape processes of partnering and the forms of learning that emerge in partnerships (3 things) (B&V, 2016):
- critical historicity
- power
- relational dynamics
How are other research methods similar to PDR (ex. PAR, community-based design experiments) different from it?
they might be achieving the relational commitments of PDR, but may not be making it as explicit as PDR calls for
Describe the ‘researcher’ / ‘researched’ relationship in PDR
- researcher becomes part of the researched
- processes of partnering as units of analysis
- forms of relational activity are made visible
- emphasis on subject-subject relationships
What are the key ideas of PDR?
- historicity
- equity
- axiological innovations
- subject-subject relations
- role re-mediation
