Andrea Rodericks on Navigating Partnerships in Action Research. S1 Ep21

Hilary Bradbury, founder and curator at AR+, talks with Andrea Rodericks, an independent action researcher active in international development in Asia. Andrea lives between Goa, India and Atlanta, USA. Our focus today is on Andrea's three key questions for navigating partnerships. In this she interrogates purpose (individual and shared), types of spaces (formal meetings and informal) and finally the question of "what is mine to do." At AR+ we have been following Andrea’s work for some years, e.g., on her design and facilitation work in Bangladesh that originally started in helping kids not to drown. We start with the question of what it means for Andrea to be an action researcher today and follow the story of her work through the quality choicepoints used by the Action Research Journal. * Erratum: Hilary mistakenly refers to Prof. Yunus as President Yunus. He is, in fact, the Chief Advisor in Bangladesh.
