Dear community-engaged scholarship colleagues,
Call for Papers in English or Spanish due May 1, 2013
Action Research Journal Special Issue on:
Knowledge Democracy and Action Research
Paper submission deadline: 1st of May, 2013
Guest Editors: Drs. Namrata Jaitli, PRIA (Participatory
Research Institute in Asia), India and George Openjuru, Makerere University,
College of Education and External Studies Uganda in association with Dr. Rajesh
Tandon, PRIA, India and Prof. Budd Hall, University of Victoria, Canada.
Papers are invited for a special Action Research Journal
issue focusing on knowledge democracy and Action Research. The primary purpose
of this special edition of Action Research Journal is to draw attention to and
raise debates about knowledge democracy and alternative forms of knowing. The
second aim is to bring to the fore perspectives of authors from the Global
South, which is understood to include excluded epistemologies from the global
North such as Indigenous researchers.
The central question in this call is the concept of
knowledge democracy, which is about, “Whose Knowledge Counts”? Knowledge
democracy goes beyond the concepts of a knowledge economy (how to match job
skills to the global economy) and knowledge society (using existing knowledge
for better social and economic outcomes). Knowledge democracy recognizes the
diversity of knowledges, drawing on the work of Boaventura de Sousa Santos and
others, a diversity of forms of knowledge representation (making use of
artistic or other forms which are accessible to the public) and sees knowledge
as a key part of people organizing themselves to create healthier, more vibrant
and resilient communities.
