Marina Apgar on Quality Action Research. S1 Ep16

Marina is an associate editor at ARJ and works with the Inst for Development Studies at U. Sussex in UK. In the interview we aim to bring alive the quality choicepoints for the action research that we use to develop papers at ARJ. We start the interview with Marina sharing about her own action research, specifically a project that helps alleviate human trafficking in Bangladesh and Nepal. In this the Quality of Sustaining action research comes alive in particular (even as Marina touches on all the other choicepoints too). Additionally, Marina speaks about papers she has helped shepherd to publication at ARJ including a recently published paper by Dr. Kristen Gossling which exemplifies Quality of Participative Methods. There Marina highlights collective analysis of data [link] as an innovation. Finally we hear about Dr. Andy Hamilton’s et al longitudinal action research with boys in Northern Ireland. This is further explored in Marina's own interview with Andy Hamilton on https://actionresearchplus.com/podcast.
