Participatory design through a cultural lens insights from postcolonial theory
Participatory Design Conference, 2014Co-Authors: Henry Mainsah, Andrew MorrisonAbstract:This paper examines challenges faced in Participatory design's confrontation with cultural complexity in contexts of intercultural encounter and transnational exchange. We argue that there is need for more elaborate approaches to culture, technology, and participation in relation to Participatory design. By examining issues at the crossroads between knowledge and power, agency and representation we identify a variety of ways in which Postcolonial Theory might inform Participatory Design.

Co-engineering Participatory Water Management Processes: Theory and Insights from Australian and Bulgarian Interventions
Ecology and Society, 2010Co-Authors: K.a. Daniell, I. White, N. Ferrand, I. Ribarova, P. Coad, J.e. Rougier, M. Hare, N. Jones, Aa. Popov, D. RollinAbstract:Broad-scale, multi-governance level, Participatory water management processes intended to aid collective decision making and learning are rarely initiated, designed, implemented, and managed by one person. These processes mostly emerge from some form of collective planning and organization activities because of the stakes, time, and budgets involved in their implementation. Despite the potential importance of these collective processes for managing complex water-related socialecological systems,little research focusing on the project teams that design and organize Participatory water management processes has ever been undertaken. We have begun to fill this gap by introducing and outlining the concept of a co-engineering process and examining how it impacts the processes and outcomes of Participatory water management. We used a hybrid form of intervention research in two broad-scale, multi-governance level, Participatory water management processes in Australia and Bulgaria to build insights into these coengineering processes. We examined how divergent objectives and conflict in the project teams were negotiated, and the impacts of this co-engineering on the Participatory water management processes. These investigations showed: (1) that language barriers may aid, rather than hinder, the process of stakeholder appropriation, collective learning and skills transferal related to the design and implementation of Participatory water management processes; and (2) that diversity in co-engineering groups, if managed positively through collaborative work and integrative negotiations, can present opportunities and not just challenges for achieving a range of desired outcomes for Participatory water management processes. A number of areas for future research on co-engineering Participatory water management processes are also highlighted.

Participatory epidemiology: the contribution of Participatory research to epidemiology
Emerging Themes in Epidemiology, 2017Co-Authors: M Bach, Susanne Jordan, Susanne Hartung, Claudia Santos-hövener, Michael T. WrightAbstract:Background Epidemiology has contributed in many ways to identifying various risk factors for disease and to promoting population health. However, there is a continuing debate about the ability of epidemiology not only to describe, but also to provide results which can be better translated into public health practice. It has been proposed that Participatory research approaches be applied to epidemiology as a way to bridge this gap between description and action. A systematic account of what constitutes Participatory epidemiology practice has, however, been lacking.

Participatory epidemiology: the contribution of Participatory research to epidemiology
Emerging Themes in Epidemiology, 2017Co-Authors: M Bach, Susanne Jordan, Susanne Hartung, Claudia Santos-hövener, Michael T. WrightAbstract:Background Epidemiology has contributed in many ways to identifying various risk factors for disease and to promoting population health. However, there is a continuing debate about the ability of epidemiology not only to describe, but also to provide results which can be better translated into public health practice. It has been proposed that Participatory research approaches be applied to epidemiology as a way to bridge this gap between description and action. A systematic account of what constitutes Participatory epidemiology practice has, however, been lacking. Methods A scoping review was carried out focused on the question of what constitutes Participatory approaches to epidemiology for the purpose of demonstrating their potential for advancing epidemiologic research. Relevant databases were searched, including both the published and non-published (grey) literature. The 102 identified sources were analyzed in terms of comparing common epidemiologic approaches to Participatory counterparts regarding central aspects of the research process. Exemplary studies applying Participatory approaches were examined more closely. Results A highly diverse, interdisciplinary body of literature was synthesized, resulting in a framework comprised of seven aspects of the research process: research goal, research question, population, context, data synthesis, research management, and dissemination of findings. The framework specifies how Participatory approaches not only differ from, but also how they can enhance common approaches in epidemiology. Finally, recommendations for the further development of Participatory approaches are given. These include: enhancing data collection, data analysis, and data validation; advancing capacity building for research at the local level; and developing data synthesis. Conclusion The proposed framework provides a basis for systematically developing the emergent science of Participatory epidemiology.
