“…Participatory ABR helps to reduce power differences using genuine decision-sharing processes, inclusive data generation processes, collaborative analysis, and dissemination (Capous-Desyllas and Morgaine 2018; Ledwith and Springett 2010). Building and maintaining relationships of trust as well as a commitment to redressing power imbalances are critical for more effective health promotion research (Madsen and O'Mullan 2018).…”

In health promotion research, the arts can take many forms: as the focus of the research or evaluation; as a tool of inquiry; as an avenue of dissemination; or as a combination of each of these. Each art form occurs within a place-based or social and spatial context, and it is the interdependence of form and context that gives rise to ethical and methodological tensions. In this chapter, we argue that arts-based research (ABR) is an aesthetic, iterative, and organic research process and health promotion practice that brings to the fore ethical and methodological tensions

“…While participatory tools can work in parallel with the aims of constructivist learning, the process is not genuinely participatory due to the researcher's requirement to gather information for the completion of their own research and thereby shaping the research direction (Madsen and O'Mullan, 2018;Weaver et al, 2009). Allowing research participants to design their own questions and focus, could better serve the principles of constructivism surrounding authentic and self-regulated learning.…”

Video game scholars examining the shortcomings of previous video game research reference the need for new and innovative methodologies. Existing video game research seemingly inhibits organic learning experiences by setting specific research targets or providing players with gameplay instructions, hence utilising methodological approaches that study the learning process from the outside. With the increasing popularity of both serious and mainstream disaster video games, a necessity exists for innovative research to explore how video games can be used as learning tools. Based upon the researchers’ own enquiry, this article demonstrates the potential use, benefits and challenges of participatory methodologies for the conduct of video game research. This article pushes back upon traditional video game research methods, reviewing the methodological approaches of existing video game literature and demonstrates how participatory methodologies are currently being used for disaster video game research. An examination of participatory methodologies, being used in disaster video game research, reviews the strengths and challenges of each research approach. Rationalising the potential of participatory methodologies, in the context of constructivist learning theory and active participation, to foster the learning process and explore learning from the inside. As such this article provides an innovative methodological framework, which can be used as a template when considering future video game research.

“…In the context of power imbalance, superficial or simulated forms of participation are likely to arise (passive participation [83]; symbolic participation [84]), resulting in low innovative potential of the partnership [27]. Although power issues inevitably emerge in multi-stakeholder partnerships [24,85], their negative effects on stakeholder participation [86] could be particularly strong in collaborations with vulnerable or marginalized groups. Many of the projects surveyed collaborated with indigenous populations.…”

“…This diversity was likely responsible for the wide span of strategies proposed for overcoming the same kind of challenge. Diverse perspectives in discussions has been shown to lead to a deeper understanding of the issue at hand and also to increase appreciation for the perspectives of others [86]. Here, the points of view of different social sectors were crucial to capture the complexity of MSC and to envision diverse ways of improving them.…”

Challenges and Strategies in Place-Based Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration for Sustainability: Learning from Experiences in the Global South

Addressing complex environmental problems requires the collaboration of stakeholders with divergent perspectives, a goal that is challenged by diverse factors. Challenges hindering multi-stakeholder collaboration (MSC) for sustainability have previously been addressed in the context of transnational partnerships. However, less is known regarding how place-based MSC operates, especially in the context of the Global South. To contribute to addressing the factors that hinder place-based MSC for sustainability in the Global South, we analyzed 38 MSC projects spanning diverse ecological and social contexts across Mexico. In a series of participatory workshops, 128 stakeholders from academia, government, business, local communities, and civil society organizations discussed factors that hinder place-based MSC and co-constructed strategies to strengthen collaboration. Some challenges coincided with those identified in previous studies (e.g., divergent visions, inadequate project planning), whereas other concerns that have not been commonly regarded as important emerged as crucial obstacles for MSC. We discuss these challenges in the context of areas of limited statehood and point to the traditions of popular education and participatory action research as a source of valuable tools for place-based MSC. We identify strategies capable of addressing diverse challenges, a result that could aid prioritizing resource allocation to strengthen MSC.
