Quoting Mike Kesby <[log in to unmask]>:
> Sam
> You might find a chapter in Van Blerk and Kesby 2009 Doing
> children's Geographies - useful.
> Chapter 11 Van Blerk and Ansell "participatory Feedback and
> dissemination with and for children: reflection from research with
> young migrants in Southern Africa".
>
> This was initially a paper in the journal Children's geographies -
> but I can't remember the reference.
>
> As I remember it, the thing about this chapter was that it described
> how a participatory process (of 'giving back' - and more) could be
> accomplished at the tail end of a research project that had in other
> respects been fairly 'normal' social science research - e.g.
> interviews etc. The process described 'gave back' the data - and
> made it useful and relevant to the community that had helped
> generate it. It also improved the data and the interpretation of the
> data because participants 'member checked' it and up-dated it. AND,
> when the researchers moved from 'feed-back' to 'dissemination'
> (which the authors defined separately), they BOTH included community
> members (by video I think) in presentations to 'policy makers' AND
> engaged policy makers in a way that - did not simply present results
> as a fait a compli - but enabled policy makers to engage with, and
> take ownership of the findings - the better to act and respond to
> them. Thus 'giving back' operated at more than one scale.

> I thought it was great.
