Beskrivning

Capturing years of innovation within contemporary action research, Hilary Bradbury highlights where action research for transformations (ART) is directed: towards responding to climate change and achieving global sustainability goals. Paying particular attention to social justice, the book brings together the human and social sciences, exploring the impact action research can make.Chapters introduce a metamodel and quality choicepoints around which pioneering techniques are displayed. Illustrated with rich personal cases throughout, the book examines agents of change who are also subjects of change. With a strong relational focus, the book also utilizes these cases to show how a broad uptake of ART for policy, health and social care, education, and management looks in practice. This book will be a vital tool for social science researchers looking to better understand social science as a participatory practice, as well as the methods and importance of action research. Community organizers, policy makers and activists seeking to become more active in realizing a more sustainable world will also find this to be an invigorating read.

Recensioner i media

‘Experience the book yourself, see what it speaks to you, identify your developmental edges, check out all its resources and go back to it again and again as I know I will. The invitation in this book is to commit to a journey of life-long learning, making sure that our microworlds proliferate to a scale that repairs our ailing democracies and makes, as Bradbury puts it, our planet beautiful and hospitable again.’
