Mediating the Right to Food: The Influence of the UN

Tenure Guidelines on Inclusive Policy-Making in Nepal

Katie Whiddon

Tuesday 24th March 2020

10:00-11:30 Sustainability and Resilience

This presentation shares my research findings on the influence of human rights

instruments on struggles of marginalised peoples for access to land, forests

and rivers in Nepal. I specifically assess the factors that condition how civil

society actors utilise the UN Guidelines on Responsible Governance of Tenure

of Land, Fisheries and Forests (2012) to advocate for participation in policy

reform. Nepal enshrined the Right to Food in the 2015 Constitution, and

established a 3-year timeframe for inclusive legal reform. My thesis maps the

activist networks that engage with the Tenure Guidelines, and interact with

policy makers to mainstream the recommendations into three processes of

legal reform: 1. the National Conservation Act; 2. a new Right to Food and

Food Sovereignty Act; 3. a new Land Policy. The findings highlight the quality of

participation, the type of advocacy, and the politics of mediation as the main

factors that condition policy influence.

Climate change adaptation and community identities:

where lies the future?

Carla Sarrouy Kay



When meeting a group of elderly peasant women in a small village in Senegal

(West Africa) to assess the motivation to conduct Participatory Action

Research on climate change perception and adaptation, they told me they

would only be interested if the project was much broader than the sole issue

of climate change, and if it addressed knowledge gaps between generations.

To achieve this, the women proposed using Participatory Video to attract the

youth and to facilitate knowledge and experience sharing between

generations, villages and beyond. Exploring often distinct yet complementary

worldviews, the research group elders review the past and the youth dares a

future beyond farming that still allies ethnic and place identities. For this

presentation, I will reflect on the successes and the challenges of this co-

creative, iterative and on-going participatory research process and its

relevance and replicability in scholar-activist research around the globe.

Understanding Knowledge Sharing on Twitter: Within

the Context of Green Clothing

Rebecca Beech



The purpose of this thesis is to examine the participatory benefits that drive

consumers’ knowledge sharing within a green clothing online community and

to understand the interplay between consumers’ knowledge sharing and

consumer empowerment. Followed by an exploration into the inter-

relationship between consumers’ motivation to share knowledge, knowledge

sharing and consumer empowerment. This study employed a qualitative

research design, entailing focus groups and semi-structured interviews. The

findings delivered an understanding into three participatory benefits that lead

to consumers’ knowledge sharing, social, psychological and functional. Social

bond experiential interactivity was unveiled, alongside three aspects that lead

to consumer empowerment, personal experiences, online tools and green

concerns. Five factors were found to lead to a disempowered consumer,

reference groups, personal experiences, scepticism, lack of confidence and

profession. An empowered consumer emerged, as a result of their green

concerns and online tools. This study adds to previous studies understanding

of an ecological citizen.

What child piracy in Somalia reveals about the

interconnections between human insecurity on shore

and maritime insecurity

Elizabeth Norman


12:00-13:10 Safety and Security

Current estimates suggest that one-third of apprehended Somali piracy

suspects are children under the age of eighteen, who are pushed into piracy

due to fragility and insecurity on shore. Beyond their involvement at sea,

children also occupy land-based roles in piracy networks, such as guards for

hostages. However, there is little research into the involvement of children in

piracy networks. What does exist focuses on how to treat children who are

apprehended for piracy at sea, with little attention paid to the land-based

context in which children join pirate groups, or the shore-based roles they may

occupy. By looking at how organisations working in Somalia understand and

create land-based policy responses to the issue of child piracy, my research

addresses this gap. Thereby, contributing towards a better understanding of

the interrelationship between child piracy and human insecurity on shore and

the implications for future policy response.

Taking the Law into their Own Hands

Jasmine Otuko Osabutey



The emergence of globalization has promoted human rights education and the

media and scholarly work like Kodah have drawn attention to mob justice

activities constantly recurring in developing countries like Ghana. According

to Abrahams, mob justice is a means through which ordinary citizens seek

instant justice on suspects as a form of expressing their frustrations against the

inadequate effective security expected from the state. However, Bingham

suggests that the rule of law which protects human right applies equally to

everyone, publicly known and clearly stated. This is supported by the 1992

Ghana’s Constitution. The research aims at examining how mob justice violates

the principles of the rule of law especially the right to life and fair trial and

assesses the consequences of mob justice on the rule of law in Ghana’s

democracy. A conceptual framework would be designed to enhance the rule of

law and curtail mob justice in Ghana.

Application of Multi-level Modelling Techniques in

Catastrophe Bond Pricing

Marian Chatoro



Catastrophe (CAT) bonds are a form of debt financing mainly used to provide

reinsurance against the risk of catastrophic disasters. These could include

natural disasters like earthquakes or hurricanes, or man-made disasters like

terrorist attacks. These bonds cover a broad range of risks with very low

probability of occurrence and high severity of losses; and therefore can be

challenging to price. This study analyses primary data from the catastrophe

bond market to determine the key factors that have influenced CAT bond

pricing over the years. The factors will be identified through a multi-level

modelling technique that incorporates the effects of group interactions in the

regression model. The study aims to provide a more robust method of

identifying these factors as a starting point to further research, which will

apply some of these key factors in improving available CAT bond pricing

models.

Reduction of adverse damage to the heart following

anticancer treatment

Ellis Baderinwa


12:00-13:10 Health and Well-being

According to the world health organisation, 1 in 6 deaths globally are due to

cancer and its complications. Lung cancers are one of the most commonly

diagnosed cancers and were responsible for about 1.8 million deaths, 20% of

total cancer related deaths in 2018. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

accounts for over 80% of lung cancer cases.

Following extensive research, Crizotinib was developed and gained approval

from the Food and drug administration (FDA) in 2007 for the treatment of

NSCLC. However, as with most cancer treatment, it is unfortunately often

associated with adverse side effects such as nausea, hair loss and in more

severe cases heart damage.

My research sought to profile the effects Crizotinib treatment on heart models

and assess the effectiveness of protective therapies. The knowledge obtained

could be used to improve quality of life in patients treated with Crizotinib.

Impact of a cancer drug Doxorubicin on heart vessels

and potential alleviating therapy identification

Caroline Lozahic



Doxorubicin is one of the most efficient cancer drugs used in the clinic.

Doxorubicin does not just specifically kill the cancer growth, it can cause

damage in the heart and vasculature and development of cardiovascular

diseases. Cancer patients treated with Doxorubicin tend to have high blood

pressure (i.e. tightened blood vessels). In the vessels, signalling receptors can

relax or tighten the vessel depending on specific stimulation. Blocking receptor

pathways activators can pin-point which specific receptors are mediating the

response of a certain stimulation, and more importantly, blocking these

receptor pathways can alleviate the harmful tightening effect of drugs, such as

Doxorubicin. We will use an animal model to detect the effect of Doxorubicin

on heart vessels, by using specific pathway blockers. This has the potential to

identify alleviating therapy options for cancer patients treated with

Doxorubicin, which will enable clinicians to improve the outcome and life

quality of cancer patients.

Emotions and Protest; Anger and Joy around Brexit

Chris Day



Motivations to be involved in social justice events, such as protests, are not

always positive; research has suggested group-based anger, a ‘high energy

state’, can mobilise people. Specifically, collective and group-based emotion

have been investigated in social psychology as a motivation to become

involved in social movements. I will present a case study of the Put it to the

People March (held in London in March 2019). Semi-structured, in-depth

interviews with 26 attendees, were analysed using thematic analysis and a

case study approach. Background affects and the shared emotional experience

of the participants were investigated with a focus on affective practices and

emotional habitus. This presentation will look at the motivations given for

attending the march, contrasts between the emotions described before and

after and which specific collective emotions were generated during the march

and how were these experienced by participants.

Communities within Communities – An Ecosystem to

Support Ageing in Place

Jasmine Peak


14:00-15:15 Health and Well-being & Creative Cultures

People in the UK are living longer, but this is matched with deteriorating

health. When they can no longer care for themselves, they move into

residential care. The transition to residential care involves people leaving

behind established social communities, families and friends. On average,

people who live in care homes are lonelier than those who live in the

community. Research was undertaken at 2 innovative care facilities in the

West Midlands; one that aimed to create a community within the home and

another that sought to create a community with the wider community. The

overall research aim was to investigate whether creating communities in

residential care facilities for the elderly could help to curtail the issues of social

isolation and loneliness that, are prevalent amongst the elderly residents. This

was investigated using a mixed-method approach, with findings suggesting

communal spaces, people and pre-existing support networks impact on the

communities in care homes.

Going with your gut: developing intuition for the

contemporary performing artist

Micia de Wet


14:00-15:15 Health and Well-being & Creative Cultures

Intuition is currently understood in western psychology as a rapid thinking

process. Historically it has equally benefited and suffered from Romanticised

notions of being a powerful and whimsical inner-force. Intuition in artistic

processes is often linked directly to creative ability, expression, and the 'wow'

factor in performance. Recent developments in scientific research have linked

the experience of intuition to processes in our gut, which is now being

understood as our 'second-brain'. Intuition is under contemporary scrutiny. Is

it only a rapid thinking process, or is there a possibility it could be something

more? My research explores and inquires how a new understanding of

intuition may benefit performing artists' performance behaviour, and what

creative possibilities open up to performing artists if intuition proves to be a

developable system.

Road Freight Decarbonisation; new data and meeting

the challenges of adopting alternate powertrains

Sourabh Jha

Wednesday 25th March


Commercial Vehicles are the heaviest of the vehicles running on our roads.

From goods to passengers, they carry it all. However, they also contribute to

the road transport related emissions in a significant way. There are alternate

powertrain options available which can help reduce greenhouse gases

emissions from currently running conventional Diesel based engine-based

Freight vehicles. However, there is no clear winner when it comes to choosing

one over the other, especially keeping the emission targets to achieve in mind.

However simply technology (electrification hybridization etc.) may not be

enough in helping us achieve the emission targets. Hence other area to explore

could be the different and new data sources which can help us further make

the alternate powertrains more viable and more efficient. One such example is

capturing and utilizing the real time information on vehicle load. In the

presentation, we will explore the role the vehicle load can play and areas of

further research which can be taken up on the same.

Impact of corporate governance quality on firm

performance: The moderating impact of ownership

structure and types.

SHADI BANI HANI



The study will examine the impact of corporate governance quality on firm

performance by using the 10 indicators outlined by the UK Corporate

Governance Code for good governance practices in the UK.The study will

collect data on FTSE 350 members from 2010 to 2018 and compare the

performance of the most compliant firms with the UK 10 indicators

(recommendations) with those of the least compliant firms with the code.Also,

the study will measure the impact of ownership types and structure on firm

performance and examine whether one or more types have any explanatory

power to justify good or poor firm performance.The study will use a variety of

methods to measure performance while date will be collected from annual

reports, Datastream and Bloomberg databases. Data will then be analysed to

find out what relationship the results suggest between the tested variables

with performance.

Onset of convective instability in a porous medium

with a low-permeability layer during CO2 storage.

Emmanuel Luther


10:00-11:30 Intelligent Products and Processes

Since the industrial revolution, fossil fuel has been the primary source of

energy. The rising atmospheric level of CO2 due to fossil fuel consumption has

a role in the adverse global climate change. To address the adverse climate

change, several clean energy technologies are currently being explored; so far,

these technologies are not able to meet the global energy demands. In this

limit, one global climate change mitigation strategy involves capturing CO2

from large emitters and injecting the gas into geological formations containing

saltwater and located at depths more than 800m underground. CO2 in deep

underground formations can immediately leak back to the atmosphere

through fractures except if the injected CO2 dissolves in the formation water.

Natural convection accelerates the dissolution of CO2 in the formation water,

but the process is not well understood. Hence, we investigate the process of

convective dissolution in CO2 storage.

Automatic Text Summarisation: What Size of an

Automatically Generated Summary is Enough?

Bello Aliyu Muhammad



The Automatic text summarisation (ATS) is an area of natural language

processing (NLP) that produces the summaries from text documents

automatically. The summary produced is a fraction of the original document

but convey the salient points about the document. What fraction of the

summary is enough? The various ATS methods allow users of the summaries to

specify the fraction of the summary they need. This is however, short of the

needed automation. Some studies proposed use the percentage of the original

document as the fraction of the summary enough for ATS. Different

documents have different text sizes as well as different relevance. Some

lengthy documents have few important points and vice-versa. This may result

in leaving out many relevant aspects of the document or cause redundancy

(many irrelevant contents).

This work presents an optimal solution to the problem. Our approach produces

an optimal summaries based on the size and relevance of the original

document. Our work solves the problem of inconsistent summaries produced

from same document.

Exploring the role of Big Data Analytics capabilities in

innovation and their impacts on collaborations in the

oil and gas Industry

Habib Abubakar



Prior research on Big Data Analytics capabilities (BDACS) – BDA management,

BDA technology, and BDA talent – shows their impacts on firm performance,

However, literature provides a limited understanding of their role in the

diverse phases of the innovation value chain – knowledge sourcing, knowledge

transformation, and knowledge exploitation activities – and how this process

may improve firms’ innovation performance. Similarly, a gap exists in

understanding how such capabilities improve innovation performance in

different types of business-to-business collaborations from strategic

management literature so far. This research utilizes a multiple case study of oil

and gas companies and their collaborating partners to (1) examine the intra-

and inter-firm Big Data Analytics capabilities required in the diverse phases of

the innovation value chain to achieve innovation performance, and (2) explore

how Big Data Analytics capabilities affect innovation performance in

collaboration with different types of alliance partners in the diverse phases of

the innovation value chain.

Mesoscale Finite Element Modelling of Failure

Behaviour of Steel-bar Reinforced Ultra High

Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete Beams with

Randomly Distributed Fibres

Yuming Zhang



This study develops a nonlinear finite element model for simulation of

complicated failure behaviour of ultra-high performance fibre reinforced

concrete (UHPFRC) beams reinforced with steel bars and stirrups. In this

model, the continuum damage plasticity model is used as the constitutive law

for the ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) matrix, and cohesive elements

are used to simulate the softening bond-slip behaviour of the steel fibres/bars

– UHPC matrix interfaces. Both the steel fibres and bars are modelled by

elastic-plastic beam elements. As such, all the potential failure modes,

including the matrix cracking and crushing, yielding and breakage of steel bars

and fibres, and debonding of interfaces, can be simulated. A beam under four-

point loading with various shear span versus beam depth ratios was simulated

to validate the model. The results were compared well with experiments in

terms of load-deflection curves and the failure behaviour.

How to Research Vulnerable People? Methodological

Considerations for an Art-Based Project

Zsófia Hacsek


10:00-11:30 Pecha Kucha

Given the inherent complexities of vulnerability and its potential societal

impacts, it is unsurprising that those who are highly vulnerable may struggle

with letting their voices be heard. The principle aim of this research is to

develop an understanding of gendered vulnerability and how this is potentially

influenced by dignity, by exploring innovative modes of

communication/expression (verbal and nonverbal) and how these interact. The

importance of my research is threefold. First, to contribute to the existing

knowledge base focused on gender and vulnerability. Second, to present a

unique methodological framework in the context of the extant literature by

employing a highly participatory approach centred on arts-based methods.

Finally, to present policymakers/practitioners a potential new evidence base

from which decisions concerning gender and vulnerability can be informed and

influenced. The focus of this presentation will be on the methodological

aspects of this research and the challenges and benefits of combining multiple

arts-based methods.

How Machine Learning can help to improve the safety

of Self-Driving Cars

Felix Batsch



Ever since Bertha Benz made the historic first drive in a car in 1888, humans

have been in charge of controlling the vehicles. This is about to change, with

autonomous vehicles on the horizon. They promise a new era of safety, and

are also predicted to reduce congestion, while allowing the once-driver to

engage in other activities. My research looks at safeguarding these future

vehicles by finding rare and dangerous road scenarios. In order to do this, I am

using simulation and machine learning to uncover faults in the design of these

autonomous systems, which would never have come to light in day-to-day

situations. These scenarios will form the foundation of autonomous vehicle

tests and certification, helping to ensure safety and ultimately, winning trust

from the public to use this new technology.

Place – Time – People: Mixed methods for a holistic

project

Carla Sarrouy Kay



I conduct research on climate change adaptation and knowledge sharing in

Senegal, West Africa. I explore the link between nature and culture, how our

environment shapes and is shaped by who we are. My research aims to blur

the boundary between social and natural sciences, and to bring artistic

expression to the mix; it also breaks disciplinary boundaries by recognising the

role of female peasants in the research area as de facto knowledge experts. I

use mixed methods from more traditional ones (e.g. statistical and archival

analyses, interviews and focus groups) to more creative, embodied and visual

ones (such as participatory video, field visits and autoethnography). A

methodological approach where being and listening is central; a sharing,

engaged, fully-committed approach. Thus, I aim to avoid an over-simplified

analysis of climate change adaptation in an environment highly affected by

desertification; and instead untangle the complexity of humans’ dynamics in

their environments.

Can a mobile application improve well-being of older

adults living with memory problems?

Saima Nafis



By 2050, 2 million people will be living with dementia causing a burden on

public health. Despite several published articles about the effectiveness of

visiting art galleries and viewing arts to improve the well-being of older adults

with a memory problem, such as cognitive impairment and dementia, visiting

art galleries is not always feasible for older adults. Digital technology (software

applications) provides a solution to this problem. Hence, a freely available

software (Armchair Gallery application) was selected to explore the impact of

arts-based digital activities on the well-being of older adults in real-life

residential care home settings. After consulting the participating care home

staff, a protocol of mixed methods feasibility study was developed. 11

participants recruited for the weekly, 45-minutes arts activity using iPads. The

preliminary results of 91% retention, positive change in participants’ cognition,

well-being, quality of life and computer proficiency, lays the foundation for

future multi-centre randomised controlled trials.

Will England have enough water in the next 25 years?

Dalrene Teresa Keerthika James



World water shortages are due in part to rapid population growth,

urbanisation and climate change. In order to overcome the water shortage by

using alternative options, such as reusing grey water originating from

residential or commercial buildings (excluding toilet waste water) to cater non-

drinking uses, is a sustainable approach. Using grey water for non-drinking uses

could save mains water thereby reducing pressure on natural water resources.

Reusing grey water will also reduce the incidence of sewer flooding. Grey

water must be treated in order to remove or reduce the pollutant level for it to

be safe for the end use. If untreated grey water is used for watering plants it

could lead to direct toxicity and also degrade the soil due to the presence of

chemicals. Therefore a sustainable treatment system of natural material or

waste material composite is proposed in order for it to be safe for plants.

Agent-based modelling of integrated food, energy and

water circular economies

Matt Johnston



Mainstream modes of urban consumption and production are unsustainable

considering our planet’s limited carrying capacity. We have limited water,

energy and land resources to consume and biophysical cycles with limited

waste processing capacity. Reducing material and social inequality in society is

an equally pressing challenge. How can we reconcile these big issues? Circular

economics theory suggests decoupling economic growth and environmental

constraints by optimizing natural resource use and minimizing waste. In

practice complex supply chains, human relationships and organizational

hierarchies make inclusive disruption difficult. Governmental institutions and

commercial incumbents in the food, energy and water sectors dominate urban

markets. Conflicts of interest abound when trying to get buy-in from

knowledge brokers in competitive environments. Agent-based modelling

computer software can simulate the dynamics of complex social networks like

this and their evolution over time. We can use this tool to explore waste

reducing interventions without running ethical, environmental or financial

risks.

Development of Novel Nanoporous Materials for

Energy Storage requirements

Ilias Ntoukas



In our times technology is advancing with expeditious rates, thus creating the

need for efficient ways of energy storage for various applications. Batteries,

fuel cells and capacitors complement this need and researchers globally are

dealing with the synthesis of novel devices with enhanced properties to

increase the efficiency and reduce the cost. Transportation electrification is a

combination of an energy efficient powertrain system and the utilization of

sources far from fossil fuels.. One example is hybrid electric vehicles which

possess a conventional internal combustion engine system with an electric

propulsion system. Supercapacitors find a place in applications where rapid

charge or discharge is required for short term energy storage, making them

perfect candidates for hybrid electric vehicles, where currently are used for

regenerative braking. The present research focuses on the development of

novel nanoporous materials based on a new family of porous materials, the

Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for energy storage applications.

Urban Biomining of Precious Metals from Waste

Mobile Devices

Daniel Ray



Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) such as mobile phones, is a

major global waste issue. It is thought there are around 50 to 90 million

unused handsets in UK households which contain an abundance of precious

metals including Gold and Indium. The European Union has identified several

elements including Indium as critical raw materials and have highlighted that

the natural reserves are under serious threat of fully depleting within the next

100 years. It is imperative to utilise this waste stream as a secondary resource

for these precious metals. Pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical methods

are used for metal recycling, both of which are environmentally damaging,

releasing toxic gases and using vast amounts of harmful reagents respectively.

The aim of this research is to explore the use of bioleaching, an

environmentally friendly method of metal recovery, for the recycling of Gold

and Indium from waste mobile phones.

Solar thermal in buildings: a new way to store and use

solar heat in the home

Cheng Zeng



Applying renewable energy in buildings is a great way to reduce carbon

emissions from the building’s sector. As we are using more renewable energy

facilities, the technology to support their performance becomes critical. This

leads us to one emerging technology, thermochemical energy storage (TCES). It

transforms and stores the dynamic renewable heat like solar thermal into

chemical energy for long time storage. It enables heat supply when we really

need it such as in the night and rainy days. This presentation gives an overview

of the Ph.D. project in investigating the TCES reactor for residential use. It

covers the key characteristics of the technology, interesting findings through

the research, along with the future work and suggestions in the field.

Performing Peace: New Directions in Arts and Religious

Peacebuilding

Jennifer Verson


12:00-13:00 Safety & Security

This presentation is based on Doctoral Research which examines the role of

inter-religious ceremonies in peacebuilding. The research connected Christian

and Jewish communities in the Czech Republic with Jewish participants in the

UK through shared cultural heritage. The research drew on theories and

practices of Scriptural Reasoning, an inter-faith encounter focused on shared

sacred text study and integrated participatory performance techniques to

create public-facing inter-religious events. This presentation will illustrate the

use of arts-based data in interdisciplinary religious peacebuilding research. I

will present examples from the case study: "Zichronam: From UK to Moravia-

Songs, Psalms and Blessings. Public Ceremony to remember victims of the

extermination of the Terezin Family Camp". as an example of research-led

approaches religious peacebuilding.

The Search for Peace in Conflict-Affected Societies:

Internal or External Peacebuilding Efforts? The Case of

Somalia

Ismail Jumale



Over nineteen externally-mediated national peace conferences aimed at

establishing a functional government from outside Somalia have all failed to

arrive at locally acceptable peace agreement outcomes in southcentral Somalia

throughout the 1990s, and the 2000s (Menkhaus 2018). Unlike these national

peace conferences failures, effective internally-mediated regional peace

conferences had taken place in the northwest and the northeast regions of

Somalia in the 1990s. These locally-mediated peace talks finally led to the

formation of the State of Somaliland in the 1993, and the regional government

of Puntland in the 1998 (Webersik 2014). However, it has been increasingly

questionable, why and how internally and externally mediated peace

conferences have contributed to different peace agreement outcomes to same

people, affected by same conflict. Therefore, my research aims to examine the

contemporary literature on how to build a sustainable peace in conflict-

affected countries, employed by the Liberal and the Local-ownership

peacebuilding theorists.

How does the Nigeria government enforce the security

of childs right? An analysis of Corporal Punishment in

Public Schools.

Oluwatobiloba Oyefeso



Childs rights are those rights which are created for the welfare of children.

They are agreed rights for the protection of children and are premised on the

status of their age, cognitive and physical development that makes them

vulnerable. Corporal punishment is the intentional use of pain on a child for

the purpose of correcting and instilling discipline. Corporal punishment creates

an uncomfortable learning environment that constructs fear of oppression and

fear from expression. This research seeks to address the effectiveness of the

Nigeria legal framework in regard to corporal punishment as a violation of

children’s right. This research adopts a mixed method approach by examining

primary and secondary sources. It further identifies four key areas for state

actors and international bodies to focus on while crafting and enforcing

policies towards the protection of child rights in Nigeria.

Participatory Research Methodologies and Equal

Participation in Process of Meaning Making.

Karl Landström


12:00-13:00 Global Learning: Education and Attainment

In fields such as Ethics and Social Epistemology, questions pertaining to the

ethics of knowledge and the ethics of knowledge production are prevalent.

This paper draws on theory from these two fields to engage in critically with

some of the claims made by proponents of Participatory Research

Methodologies. In this paper I argue that (1) Unequal ability to partake in the

process of meaning making is a serious epistemic and moral issue in knowledge

production and that (2) Participatory Research Methodologies offer the

potential for a more equal knowledge production process. Following these two

arguments I discuss the limitations of the argument I’m making and some of

the claims made by proponents of Participatory Research Methodologies in

general.

Keywords: Participatory Research Methodologies, Ethics of Knowledge

Production, Social Epistemology.
