Teaching style

Lectures with dialogue, exercises in participative methods and interpretation of data, student presentations and discussions.

Learning objectives

This course aims to provide the student with critical insights into processes, relations and forms of participatory dialogue that are key to understanding the connection between development and technological, organisational and social innovation. Hence, the course builds on perspectives in anthropology, urban studies and communication studies as well as on more knowledge-discursive management, economic and political theory and various theories of communicative practice.

The course discusses grounded approaches to theory formation. It critically addresses participatory research and discusses the methodological challenges it presents. It discusses this in relation to standard discussions on methods like validity, reliability, and generalisation, but also in relation to trustworthiness, usefulness and reason. It positions these methods in different scientific discourses.

Knowledge

After finishing this course, the candidate should be able to identify different participatory methods and know how they are founded in different disciplinary traditions, and be able to discuss these methods in relation to scientific criteria.

Skills

The candidate should be able to compare participatory methods with other, more conventional, scientific methods.

General competence

The candidate should be able to develop a research design based on participatory principles and applied to a specific case.
