While scientists in modern science establishments (labs) are busy finding answers to COVID (and other pandemics) and climate disruptions, communities and societies continue to struggle and use their own wisdom and capacity to find meaningful measures for local adaptations. This disconnect between societal actors and science has become critical. So, professional science communicators have critical responsibilities for rebuilding mutually respectful connections between society (and its diverse actors) and science. How can science communicators play such important roles in bridging society and science? Let me illustrate the ways it is being attempted in diverse contexts.Item Participatory research and gender in PRIAs projects: An exploration(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2021-02) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)PRIA has pioneered the concept of Participatory Research (PR) in bringing about social change among the marginalised in India. For three decades, PRIA has not only built capacities of/trained grassroots development workers to incorporate the PR approach in their work, it has used the PR methodology in implementing its own projects. The objective of this paper is to illustrate the application of a gendered approach to using PR in some recent interventions of PRIA. How have the principles and methodology of PR been incorporated into project activities, and were there any PR outcomes in the project? How was people’s knowledge and voice, especially those of women, valued? Did the project entail production of new knowledge, new learnings? Did local actors have a role in production of that knowledge? What use has been made of that knowledge and by whom? The paper begins with a very brief overview of the PR approach and the potential outcomes of adopting this approach. The next section describes the PR methodology and suggestive gendered outcomes in four recent initiatives undertaken by PRIA. The last section summarises the PR outcomes from the four initiatives.Item Contemporary conversations and movements in adult education: From knowledge democracy to the aesthetic turn(2022) Hall, Budd L; Clover, Darlene EWhat does it mean to contribute meaningfully to the evolving field of adult education today? In this article, Dr. Budd Hall and Darlene E Clover examine and engage with several contemporary conversations and movements in which they have been active participants, describing our respective contributions to the field of adult education. Hall focuses on the interconnected frameworks of knowledge democracy, community-based participatory research, and social movement learning. Clover advances new understandings at the intersection of aesthetics and gender justice, drawing upon her research and teaching work across both areas. Together, their reflections demonstrate the diverse ways in which adult education can contribute to social transformation and democratic engagement. Through a reflective examination of their scholarly and practical contributions, the article explores how adult educators can engage with questions of knowledge, justice, and social change. .
