Transformation and Participation
We create a greater understanding of the lived and experienced relationships of different actors to questions of transformation, justice and participation in the region.
The A1 innovation team develops practice-theoretical perspectives on transformation as a lived experience. Using qualitative, creative and participatory research methods, we shed light on the everyday, situated and emotional dimensions of regional transformation processes. In this way, we create a greater understanding of the lived and experienced relationships of different actors to questions of transformation, justice and participation in the region.

We understand transformation not as a fixed ‘program’, but as a contested, dynamic process that emerges out of spatially embedded relationships. Thus, we analyze the various practices through which different actors enter into a relation with matters of transformation, justice and participation in the region. We conceptualize this “relating” as multimodal: an everyday, socio-spatially differentiated, emotional experience of, and influence on, transformational dynamics. A praxeological transformation research will focus on the informal ways of dealing with transformation that take place ‘under the radar’ of dominant programs and discourses. In this way, it can (1) enlarge established understandings of transformation and participation, opening up alternative potentials for participation, (2) uncover tensions between different aspects of social change and (3) provide impetus for the social mediation of transformation.

Peer-Workshop: Knowledge transfer – for whom?
At universities and in research funding guidelines, there is a growing expectation that transfer-oriented projects generate societal impact, although the concrete mediation of scientific and practice-related requirements remains unclear. This interdisciplinary workshop offers participants a space to reflect on existing transfer activities, their challenges, and potential contributions to societal change.
