    La sistematización como investigación participativa [Systematization as Participatory Research]
    (CLACSO, 2019) Carrillo, Alfonso Torres
    El artículo presenta una panorámica de la sistematización como investigación participativa que emerge en América Latina, como metodología que busca comprender y potenciar prácticas de transformación social. A partir de reconocer la influencia de la IAP como matriz de referencia para dicha metodología, se expone su origen y trayectoria histórica, los sentidos que la animan y sus fundamentos epistémicos y rasgos metodológicos como investigación cualitativa y participativa. Finalmente, se señala que como modalidad investigativa en construcción, continúa creciendo y fortaleciendo, desde la práctica y la reflexión de sus practicantes en los nuevos campos sociales y profesionales donde hoy se desenvuelva.

    ‘A giant human hashtag’: Learning and the #occupy movement
    (2011) Hall, Budd L
    How do forms of learning evolve in social movements? In this chapter, Dr. Budd L. Hall discusses the pedagogical significance of the ways in which learning takes place both within a movement and as a result of it. Taking the case of the Occupy Movement, which he considers one of the most important social movements of the twentieth and twenty first centuries in rich countries, Hall highlights the synchronised scale with which it aligned purpose and process. Viewing every participant as both a learner and a teacher, he reflects on how the organising structure of the movement differed from preceding movements against global capitalism. He discusses several defining characteristics of the movement, including collective thinking, direct democracy, decentralised leadership, and the creation of new forms of knowledge. Hall also emphasises the important role played by social media platforms as spaces of knowledge creation and dissemination. In developing his argument, he draws extensively on tweets shared under hashtags such as #Occupy, #OccupyMovement, and #OWS, among others. Through this exploration, Hall demonstrates how social movement learning holds transformative potential at both theoretical and practical levels, showing how the two remain in sustained dialogue within movements like Occupy.

    Perspectives on community practices: Living and learning in community
    (Znanstvena založba Filozofske fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani, 2015) Krašovec, Sabina Jelenc; Štefanc, Damijan; Hall, Budd L; Tandon, Rajesh; Tremblay, Crystal; Singh, Wafa
    This book presents the findings of the 2015 European Society for Research on the Education of Adults conference and brings together a rich collection of research that explores how communities learn, organise, resist and transform across varied contexts. It covers themes such as adult learning and wellbeing, intergenerational spaces of experience, feminist work in public museums, learning cities and regions, community resilience, applied theatre and transformative learning, and the co-construction of knowledge in community–university partnerships. Contributions such as Adult Learning and Wellbeing: Between Body Politics and the Body Politic, Community Building as Forum and Arena, and Challenges in the Co-Construction of Knowledge foreground tensions between policy, participation, power and everyday practice. The strength of this book lies in its plurality. It holds together critical, empirical and practice-based insights, making it an important resource for understanding community learning in complex and changing times.
