Transgressive

Covid is changing our thinking patterns. For example, this is the first time everyone is sharing a global experience. It is becoming obvious how we perceive an issue, our feelings, modifies how we act.

This is true across many fields of life including research—the hunt for a vaccine is connected to individual intuition, political imperatives and clinical trials. Acknowledging all those pieces is transgressive.

As you know
The times demand transformation:
action WITH research.
That’s transgressive!
I-you-we are entangled in creating flourishing futures…

That’s what Action-oriented Research for Transformations and your reflection is doing.

I-you-we get to choose.
It’s not about someone else acting.
Researchers and everyone are the solutions.
always acting, not dispassionate, the transgressive difference.

In this reflection you are, we are, beyond conventional thinking.

Transgressive as it, you, we are breaking the social norms
That’s Action Research for Transformation,
ART.
Knowledge creators have influence.
Transgressively recognize it…

When we’re reflective we recognize our subjective influence on research and those we are engaged with:

Co-producing a better world for all
takes all of us, transgressively.
Our collaborative crises, covid, climate,
are solved together,

It’s just as well Action-oriented Research for Transformations (ART) is transgressive as we need fast change

There’s no other choice.
We can’t cure the climate or corona plague
through competition alone.
Connected collaboration is transgressive.

In other words such researchers, you-I-us, are co-producing a better world for all:

You influence your research,
it’s not objective! In recognizing that
I-you-we are influential. Phew 😅
Transgress to transformational.

We need this paradigm shift
We won’t solve our crisis
with the level of thinking that created them.
Fortunately, ART
is transgressive. I-u-we are mirroring the change we need to see.
