From the margin!

Hi Chris,
Sawubona. Amandla!
I had pulled out of the list but your warm posting has evoked my response.
You have extended your self, I see you.
I facilitate an Action Research Masters programme at the Royal
Agricultural College in the UK. I am interested in how Action Research can
support the influence of postcolonial theorising, and practice. I would
like to influence, just a little in some way, how postcolonial theorising
could become more hermeneutic and first-person leaning. While I want to
bring some tiny influence to bear on how Action Research (particularly
living educational theory accounts)can take into account the 'wider
context', which mediates the particularity of the action research account.
I have been working with Masters students for the last three years
exploring how they might want to work creatively with various ideas -
Marx's 'false consciousness', Critical Theory, critical pedagogy, critical
management studies, existential psychotherapy and philosophy, and in my
own work, critical race theory, and critical white studies.
Fakhry Davids, a South African psychotherapist practising in the UK,
refers to his interest in this regard as presencing the psycho-social in
ways that enhance both dimensions of human experience. This view has
possibility.

If you visit my site, do have a mooch around, and if you find any flotsam
and jetsam of (research) interest, do contact me.
Best wishes to you
