Do Better Research S2 E1: Participatory Action Research (PAR)

Disclaimer: This episode contains an instance of swearing. 

In this episode, I speak to Mike Seal, Professor of Education and Social Mobility at the University of Suffolk (https://www.uos.ac.uk/people/professor-mike-seal). Mike talks about a range of research projects that he has engaged in, and focuses on what he calls a 'maverick methodology', Participatory Action Research (PAR). This methodology is the focus of his book Participatory Pedagogic Impact Research: Co-Production with Community Partners in Action, available from Routledge (https://www.routledge.com/Participatory-Pedagogic-Impact-Research-Co-production-with-Community-Partners/Seal/p/book/9780367590000). 

Mike's latest book is: Seal, M. (ed) (2020) Hopeful Pedagogies in Higher Education: Dancing in the Cracks, Bloomsbury Press, London & New York.
