Hi all,
\nI’m doing a masters program in applied anthropology and am nearing the end of my studies. I stumbled across AR while looking at methods to use in my thesis project: ‘Culture Brokers in Australasia’, where I am ‘mapping’ opportunities for anthropologists to apply their training to help solve real world problems.<\/p>\n
I am now considering going on to do a PhD on an AR project and here is where I hope to get some guidance from you all:
\n1) I would like to continue in the anthropology discipline and am looking for potential supervisors and universities with strength in AR to approach with a research proposal.
\n2) I am interested in applying AR to organizational change in business.
\n3) I am hoping to find a 3 year Scandinavian university model whereby PhD are also academic staff and strong university – public and private sector relationships exist for researchers to take advantage of.<\/p>\n
I know this all might be a tall order but I thought AR+ might be my best bet for getting multiple perspectives on how\/where I could meet all three objectives. If I have to make some compromises on my expectations I’d be happy to hear where they might be, two out of three wouldn’t be so bad ????
\nThanks in advance!
\nDoug<\/p>\n
Hi Doug, Hilary here – How funny that we must stumble across an orientation to research that in many ways has been deeply aligned with anthology for decades. E.g., I think of Marja Liisa Swanz, from Finland, whose work as a doctoral student and beyond in Tanzania in the 70’s effectively created the practice we now call participatory action research\/PAR. I am glad you stumbled on to our field! There is much to learn…In support of your plan for further study, I invite you to send me an email to bradbury@ohsu.edu<\/a> I have some recommendations for you. As they involve sharing other colleagues names from whom I think you can get excellent advice (who knows they may not wish for me to share their name on a public forum?!), I would be happy to help in this way…and wishing you all the best! – Hilary Bradbury<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
