Please come along to our nextDivision of Health Research Seminar at Lancaster University, to be given byDr Kath Maguire, University of Exeter Medical School
Who knows? Participatory action research and
the social ownership of knowledge Dr Kath Maguire, University of Exeter Medical School Thursday 16th February 2017 12:30 to 1:30pm, Management School Lecture Theatre 12, Lancaster University Without qualifications and living on benefits, our house backed on to an inner city motorway. My chronically ill child could no longer breathe well enough to play outside. Radio 4 alerted me to an Asthma UK review of evidence linking air pollution and respiratory illness in children. Pre-internet, I wrote off for a copy and clutching it went to ask the paediatrician to support my request to be re-housed. He said that he could not confirm a connection between my child’s deteriorating condition and air quality. I asked if he had read the Asthma UK report. His reply: “I write these things, I don’t read them!”.This statementdefines a toxic binary social relationship between those who are legitimate holders of knowledge and those who are not. This binary relationship is a barrier to the implementation of evidence. Participatory action research, with its emphasis on co-production and the value of different types of knowledge, offers a way to challenge this barrier. This seminar tries to answer the following questions: can demonstrating the social production of knowledge support the social ownership of knowledge as a public good? And would socially owned knowledge be easierto put into practice? We look forward to seeing you there. Please feel free to bring your own lunch!
