OtherThe ambition of this conference is to gather researchers from research approaches and traditions that reach out and engage in society to contribute to critical and constructive change. The conference has its outset from action research and its traditional focus on democratic participation and dialogue. With this conference, we wish to invite research traditions and approaches that strive towards similar goals, i.e. engaging participants, communities, and society in an endeavor of change and local and global social value creation. We call for researchers occupied with research approaches and methods for citizen involvement, democracy, education, learning, participatory organizational change, research-practice collaboration, design-based research, co-creation, sustainability, co-design, co-evaluation and many others.<br/><br/>Reaching out to society’s big agendas, we also need to address political and economic aspects of research. In the light of the increasing demand for research institutions to attract external research funding, and of the pressure on businesses and organizations to inform their practices with research, we wish to engage in conversations about individual, organizational and societal freedom and ownership of research. We wish to address the political, societal, human and more-than-human dimensions of local change. We wish to get in dialogue concerning organizational-cultural and societal-cultural dimensions of worldviews and perspectives on value creation (resource-wise, human, social and more than human) through research. How can we help and inspire each other?<br/><br/>The conference content<br/><br/>The content of the two-day conference is two public lectures as well as the mentioned parallel work sessions for conference participants. For participants, the conference dinner will be an opportunity to engage in more informal exchange of experiences, ideas and inspiration.<br/><br/>In the work sessions of the conference, conference participants are invited to communicate research in various ways: 1) traditional paper presentations, 2) methodological workshops and concrete method experiments, or 3) business and organization narratives.
