Transformation corona(tion)

We’ve shown “we can” with covid. Now we need Action Research for Transformations (ART) to multiply collaborations that respond to our crises: climate, coronavirus, wellbeing disparities…

What are ART’s answers? (via Simon Divecha in 7 tweets and a 45 second video):

As you know
The times demand transformation:
action WITH research.
That’s transgressive!
I-you-we are entangled in creating flourishing futures…

That’s what ART and your reflection is doing (retweet with autoplaying video).

I-you-we get to choose.
It’s not about someone else acting.
Researchers and everyone are the solutions.
always acting, not dispassionate, the transgressive difference.

In this reflection you are, we are, beyond conventional thinking.

Transgressive as it, you, we are breaking the social norms
That’s Action Research for Transformation,
ART.
Knowledge creators have influence.
Transgressively recognize it… (retweet >)

When we’re reflective we recognize our subjective influence on research and those we are engaged with:

Co-producing a better world for all
takes all of us, transgressively.
Our collaborative crises, covid, climate,
are solved together, (retweet >) 

It’s just as well ART is transgressive as we need fast change 

There’s no other choice.
We can’t cure the climate or corona plague
through competition alone.
Connected collaboration is transgressive. (rt >)

In other words ARTist are co-producing a better world for all:

You influence your research,
it’s not objective! In recognizing that
I-you-we are influential. Phew ????
Transgress to transformational.

(retweet)

We need this paradigm shift
We won’t solve our crisis
with the level of thinking that created them.
Fortunately, ART
is transgressive. I-u-we are mirroring the change we need to see. (rt >)

See it in action [in Manila?!]  through climate-x, or just go all out and transform Swedish hospitals, MBA programs, community learning and more… That’s what ARTists do (their stories and resources here). Time to connect up; time to scale these efforts!
