There has been considerable discussion about impending reckonings and large-scale changes in our field. Our panelists explore what we believe to be the three most important tenets of these changes:
- The changing power dynamics between researcher and the researched
- What it means to expand the definition of researcher to include people who do research
- The convergence of different insight fields
Together, let’s unpack the possible futures ahead of us and the critical decisions we, as a field, need to make in order to move forward.
Attend all of our Advancing Research community workshops
Each free virtual workshop is made up of panelists who will share short provocations on engaging ideas to discuss as a group, as well as a leader in our field to moderate. If you’re looking for discussions that challenge the status quo and can truly advance research, look no further than our workshop series. (P.S. We’ll be drawing most of our Advancing Research 2025 conference speakers from those who present at upcoming workshops—so tune in for a sneak peek of what’s to come from #AR2025!)
