((apologies for cross-posting)) Conjunctions. Transdisciplinary Journal of Cultural Participation New special issue Vol 5, No 1 (2018) Community and Creative Research. Developing Participatory Methodologies Edited by Lorena Sancho Querol and Cláudia Pato Carvalho By choosing the theme of “community and creative research”, this thematic issue of Conjunctions has gathered experiences from around the world (Australia, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, Portugal, Switzerland, Argentina and Cyprus) on different approaches to democratic practice using the lens of cultural participation. It feeds on the intersection of action research work performed by academics, activists, artist, theorists and citizens, who study and work within different sectors of our societies through participatory methodologies.
