Engaging with stakeholders: What can we learn from action researchers?
Research has more impact when those directly involved have a voice in the process.
If you want to engage effectively with participants important initial decisions should not be made without their input. What are the critical problems and priorities? Who or what can offer important insights about the background and context? Engaging with stakeholders is central to action research, and valuable in any study, whether qualitative or quantitative. This lively webinar offered the opportunity to learn from experienced action researchers.

Alfredo Ortiz Aragón, University of the Incarnate Word, USA. Co-author of Action Research 5th edition (2021)
Rosalind Beadle, Research Fellow, Flinders University, College of Medicine and Public Health, Australia. See “Women telling their own stories in action research.”
