Research PrACTivisms -- A Methodology for a-More-than-Educational-Academic Knowledge Production
Gender and Education, v37 n1 p49-64 2025
This article aims to problematize knowledge production as merely an academic researcher endeavour by investigating how research can invite preschool-aged children to activate knowledge "in situ." Informed by Isabelle Stengers' theoretical framework, we developed the research methodology of Research prACTivisms through three propositions: activating an "ecology of practices," engaging a "direct democracy," and emerging "situation ethics and values" as means for change and transformations in continuous processes and activations. We argue that Research prACTivisms may produce and activate marginalized actors and knowledge in order to produce contemporary and situated political research practices and approaches.
