Researching Transition: making sure it benefits transitioners

You can help make sure that Researchers are doing work that benefits transitioners. Here's how.

MyPhdHere at Transition Network we get a regular flow of research enquiries - all the way from student projects that have to be in the next day to PhDs with multi-year, multi-country, multi-dimensional proposals. Some of these are purely extractive research - ie the researcher gets a grade or qualification while the transitioners get nothing for the effort they've been asked to put in. Others understand that the benefits should flow in both directions and that the research work must be designed from the outset to help transition move forward.

There are a number of activities in progress right now to ensure that transition and research form a symbiotic relationship, such as the newly formed Transition Research Network that will help shape the frameworks to make that a reality. Another key element - and that's what this posting is about - is some preliminary research to find out what approaches work best for Transition Initiatives.
