Gareth: Wants to explore the tension between activism and academia and explore value driven research Vs. the limits of the university Gareth: Wants to have good conversations and learn about different ways of doing and get fresh ideas. Keri made the point that the CC programme has the potential to do meaningful research and she hoped that this symposium will create a safe space in which we could talk about the methods used in the programme and more widely in other co-production. To explore what participation allows us to do and if these new methods allow us to disrupt inequality. She was aware that she didn’t want this to become just an argument about the language of or a reinventing of the wheel but a safe place to discuss new approaches, methods and means of social justice. Who’s in the Room, sharing expertise, principles of working together The Objects! The first activity involved individual objects brought by everyone to the symposium. The object related to their research in some way. Everyone spent time talking to one another and then trying to identify which their object was. They then wrote something about them next to their object. Mapping traditions, Inspirations and Resources The aim of this session was to make visible the expertise and experience in the room as well as the resources and traditions that we use to help us in coproduced research. It also helped us to reflect on ideas about social change and power that are at work in these traditions. Using timelines and (huge) maps we plotted the people, organisations, events, resources etc. that had inspired our thinking and inform our work. There were hundreds of points and important moments, some of the ones I documents are listed below:
