“…Criticisms of participatory research practices include questions of representation (who contributes), concerns about tokenistic participation (how people are enabled to contribute), and power imbalance (whose knowledge is prioritised, who is paid to contribute) that challenge poor practices (Pickering andKara 2017, Stenning andWintrup 2018, forthcoming). Researchers concerned about methods offered for participation have sought increasingly creative solutions to engage people in participatory methods such as song, poems, theatre and dance (Pickering and Kara 2017, Erel, Reynolds and Kaptani 2017).…”

Participatory methodologies are frequently used in social research and have matured over the past decades. Ethical aspects of participatory research feature in retrospective accounts of partnerships that contribute to quality research, and those that were problematic to negotiate in the research partnership. Meanwhile, social researchers have shared concerns about meaningful transformations from research and the processes involved to achieve effective, responsive partnerships. As participatory methodologies have matured, so has an ethics of care. An ethics of care research manifesto provides a framework for surfacing marginalisation and potential for transformation, considering interdependencies, and negotiating research relationships with the broader research community.

“…Psychologists should also be compensated for their time when possible. Finally, this project does not alleviate instructors from teaching about DS intentionally and ethically (e.g., representation ethics, Pickering & Kara, 2017), nor is it a replacement for systemic changes in departments to increase representation (Hall et al, 2011).…”

Introduction: Since the 1990s, psychology has demonstrated a strong commitment to the full spectrum of human diversity (Vera & Speight, 2003).Statement of the Problem: However, psychologists from underrepresented backgrounds and diversity science remain marginalized in psychology (Syed & Kathawalla, 2020), which affects the ease with which instructors can integrate diversity into psychology curricula and student learning. Literature Review: Accordingly, this paper provides instructors with a potential solution for increasing the representation of marginalized psychologists and diversity science in psychology courses through the Interview with a Psychologist project.Teaching Implications: The Interview with a Psychologist project is adaptable across academic settings. When implementing the project, instructors should be mindful of the minority tax on psychologists, avoid tokenism, and self-educate on diversity-related issues.Conclusions: As psychology departments pursue institutional efforts to diversify the field of psychology, the Interview with a Psychologist project ensures marginalized psychologists and diversity science are well-represented in psychology courses.

“…Issues of consent carry with them a higher threshold in qualitative research than is the case for quantitative research because of the greater risk of revealing participant identity (Mason, 2002). The consideration of consent is an important component of the research design and continues throughout the research process, into publication and beyond (Pickering and Kara, 2017).…”

Democratic Governance Through Intermediary Bodies: A Case Study of Third Sector Interfaces in Scotland

This research focuses on third sector interfaces (TSIs) as a site through which to examine the relationship between the third sector and the state in Scotland. The TSI model was instituted by the Scottish Government in 2011 in each of Scotland's 32 local authorities with a remit to build sector capacity, support volunteerism, encourage social enterprise, and represent the sector in community planning. Through its participation in state-initiated local governance networks, like Community Planning Partnerships, the sector has a prominence that was unthinkable just twenty years ago. This research study explores the impact of a TSI's participation in state-initiated local governance networks, focusing on the TSI's independence from the state and its representation of the sector. Using a qualitative interpretivist approach, 44 semi-structured interviews were conducted (13 with national stakeholders, 19 with local stakeholders, and 12 with TSI staff) and 16 local governance meetings observed. A large urban TSI was selected for the case study.Four key themes emerged from an iterative thematic analysis. One, that local governance sits within a space, literal and figurative, where representative and participatory democracy meet. Through its participation, the TSI is brought closer to the state implicating it in statutory decision making. Two, the TSI model is an example of a "civil servant construct" channelling the sector's participation in local governance networks through structures that mirror state priorities, compromising the independence of the TSI and complicating its representation role. Three, the TSI's closeness to the state creates distrust within the third sector which in turn weakens its legitimacy in representing the sector. Four, local governance spaces embody a culture of "managed talk" compromising the TSI's ability to be activist and shaping its participation through a state logic.The study suggests that there is an impact on both the TSI's independence from the state and the ways in which it represents the third sector. The current state approach to engaging the third sector risks "manufacturing civil society" (Brandsen, et al., 2014) where the sector becomes a reflection of the state rather than an expression of civil society.Recommendations from the study include the need for democratic governance spaces to be shaped collaboratively by the state and civil society, the state to reconsider its instrumental approach to the third sector, the third sector to assert its independence, and intermediary bodies to act as facilitators rather than representatives.
