Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to our symposium "Collaborative Research with Practitioners: Research Journeys & Methodological Innovations" scheduled on Tuesday, Aug 14, 2018 from 9:45AM - 11:15AM at Sheraton Grand Chicago in Streeterville
Collaborative research methods such as action research and engaged scholarship are seen as one way for research to impact practice. Scholars engaged in such research face several opportunities and challenges that often do not make into academic publications, and yet hold valuable insights. In this symposium, we will unpack the research journeys of academics who have been involved in projects with practitioners as knowledge partners. This symposium's objectives are twofold. First, we will showcase the diversity in research design across our panelists and discuss potential traps as researchers balance rigor with relevance. Second, we will discuss specific research strategies such as relational reflexivity and researcher vulnerability (Bjørkeng, Carlsen, & Rhodes, 2014) that push the frontiers of research methodologies.
