About this Item

Paperback. Opinions create issues and issues generate controversies. This book presents the intricacies of this process and proposes issue mapping as a critical methodology to unravel bias. STS researchers have recently developed interest in grounded action research since such biases are produced in daily life. Thus, grounded participatory action research and issue mapping are related in that both perspectives aim to understand complex social issues by engaging with real-world situations and experiences. By combining these methodologies, the study aims to inspire collaborative knowledge commons in decentering top-down power mechanisms in education and science - a promising step towards active listening and unlearning for social transformation. The use of grounded participatory action research as an egalitarian approach to power, education, and science is instrumental in understanding the process of mapping controversies of the 21st century. This study aims to create collaborative knowledge commons for deconstructing debates and finding new solutions to complex social issues. This item is printed on demand.
