“…In this way, I made my analysis of participants' interviews vulnerable to critique. This was in line with my ethical commitments to informed consent, accountability and care towards my participants (Naidu & Prose, 2018). In light of the deeply personal nature of the interviews, I felt it was particularly important to allow participants to review what I had written about them.…”

Within research on sexual violence, womxn who have been raped are positioned as “vulnerable” participants, while researchers tend to occupy positions of “invulnerability”. Drawing on vulnerable moments from a research project which explored womxn's experiences of rape in South Africa, this paper proposes a (more) vulnerable engagement with narratives of rape. Through attending to how vulnerability is implicated in issues of silence and agency, shame, and my own failures to witness the experiences of my participants with care, I explore the epistemic and ethical possibilities of an affective approach to researching rape. This approach asks us, as researchers, to attend to the moments during our research in which we are affected, moved and disrupted.

“…While the intent of these studies seemed to lean towards critical qualitative scholarship that stands for equity and would be transformative [49], the question of the communication of the research findings to the communities involved was given little critical attention. Although knowledge dissemination strategies are increasingly required by funders, accountability should perhaps extend beyond the publication of research findings to proactive "taking-it-back" events in the communities from which the data was gathered as a mark of respect for the research participants [50]. This would enhance the building of partnerships with the researched communities, congruent with the ethos of Agenda 2030.…”

In 2015, the United Nations committed to 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to drive global development policy and practice. Six years into the implementation of the 15-year agenda, the SDGs are subject to extensive monitoring and research at the national, regional, and global levels using quantitative data sets. In contrast, this scoping review considered the contribution of qualitative research studies published in 2021, utilizing data collected from local, place-based community participants. Qualitative research with community participants connects global policy with place-based experience, thus potentially offering a valuable perspective on SDG implementation. Searches were carried out using the Scopus database to identify studies that explicitly linked their aims and objectives to the SDGs. Fifty-four papers met the criteria for inclusion in the review and were charted, mapped, and analysed. For the majority of studies, data collection was carried out in lower-middle income and low-income countries. The “voices” of community participants highlight tensions and challenges affecting the implementation of the SDGs. Reviewing this body of research as a whole identified opportunities to strengthen future qualitative research that will further illuminate progress towards the SDGs.

“…We found the reader’s theatre method effective in sharing research findings with participants. Naidu and Prose (2018) argue that “returning study findings to communities” is not simply a validity checking practice, but it is an accountability practice driven by an ethnical imperative of community-based research. In our research, the method helped to foster an opportunity where research participants could evaluate the authenticity and relatability of the scripts and benefit from research outcomes.…”

Transitions Theatre: Creating a Research-Based Reader’s Theatre With Disabled Youth and Their Families

Transition to adult life can be a challenging time for disabled youth and their families. This article describes the collaborative creation of Transitions Theatre, a research-based reader’s theatre activity based on narrative interviews with eight disabled youth (aged 17–22) and seven parents. Analysis of these interviews generated two opposing yet interrelated themes. On one hand, youth and families felt lost in transition facing multiple gaps in healthcare, financial support, education, and opportunities for social participation after having “aged out” of the pediatric system. On the other hand, they started cripping “normal” adulthood to envision more inclusive futures wherein disabilities are understood as integral to society. These two themes were transformed into two reader’s theatre scripts, one featuring a youth, the other featuring a parent. Seven youth and four parents (six of them were original interview participants) then participated in a Transitions Theatre workshop to read the scripts together and discuss the authenticity and relatability of the scripts. Participant feedback suggested that the reader’s theatre method was effective in sharing findings with research participants and stimulating a critical dialogue on how to (re)imagine transition to adulthood. We discuss the importance of implementing inclusive design strategies to make reader’s theatre accessible to participants with diverse abilities and preferences.
