Читать книгу Turning Ideas into Research - Barbara Fawcett - Страница 25

In this chapter, we have explored a number of key research partnerships that have relevance for practitioners, students and researchers. Key themes of participation and inclusivity have been explored in the theory, practice and workplace context. Specific examples have been used to demonstrate the ways in which fields still influenced by a scientifically orientated positivisitic legacy can be enriched by social perspectives of inclusivity and participation in research activities. Social researchers can be instrumental in bringing this knowledge to research collaborations that may not privilege it, and where other knowledge frames are dominant. Most importantly, these approaches in the social research arena push the knowledge boundaries beyond traditional parameters, leading in part to different and new understandings of the complexities of human and social engagement.
