Bright action researching lights amidst the turbulent darkness. Editorial last issue of 2023

In curating the final issue for 2023, I see bright action researching lights amidst the turbulent darkness of the Israel Hamas war and its global repercussioning. The five papers in this issue were all developed by and with people of the Muslim faith working with people of other faith backgrounds.

I considered how action research can heal hatreds inherited through our ancestry.

The action-oriented practices in research we meet in these papers are directly related to meeting United Nations’ sustainable development goals. They support peace, justice and strong institutions as well as good health, social equality and partnerships for the goals.
