Recenzii
"Building on a wide range of great thinkers --Thomas Kuhn on scientific creativity, Paulo Freire on learner-centered education, and John Dewey on learning--Bilorusky, the founder of the Western Institute for Social Research, lays out steps through which one can do transformative action research. Engaging communities of learning, his Institute has mentored highly innovative research on such issues as restoring Omaha Culture, ending workplace bullying, and teaching physics. The volume opens the door to an exciting approach to learning, collaboration and bettering the world." -- Arlie Hochschild, Professor Emerita of Sociology, University of California, Berkeley, USA. Author of Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right, a finalist for the National Book Award in 2016.
"Building on Volume I, this book dives deeper into WISR’s method of collaborative inquiry through illustrative case studies in which Dr. Bilorusky and his colleagues demonstrate how they have applied the principles of transformative, participatory action research in community organizations, community-based think tanks, needs assessments and other settings. Volume II will prove helpful for practitioners and students seeking to understand how democratic community knowledge-building takes shape in learner-centered approaches to learning." -- Joyce. E. King, Benjamin E. Mays Endowed Chair for Urban Teaching, Learning & Leadership, College of Education & Human Development, Georgia State University, USA. Past-President, The American Educational Research Association
"This exciting volume shows how teachers, undergraduate students, graduate students, and community members have collaborated and employed action research to promote social transformation. Connecting theory, methodology, and methods, these case studies provide instructive and inspiring examples of how multicultural academic scholarship, when crafted by students and learning groups, promotes social justice that benefits world-majority communities. Berkeley's Western Institute for Social Research is one of the few degree-granting, long-distance learning laboratories that teaches students around the world how to do action research for transformative justice. Students' skills and enthusiasm for collaborative inquiry will move readers to become more involved in multicultural community change." -- T. D. Dickinson, Professor Emerita, Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies, Kansas State University, USA
