“…We can go further than Loorbach and Rotmans and suggest that the “transition arenas” must be deliberately cocreated. In all three of these community stories the forum which offers the potential to discuss issues widely could be group collaborations such as citizens' juries (Wakeford, Pimbert, & Walcon, ) or transdisciplinary scenario‐building workshops (Schneider & Rist, ), held in some community, communal space. Using the concept of sustainable futures as the guiding principle, these juries and workshops enable ideas to be explored and perspectives to be shared (Wakeford et al, ).…”

Using the concept of sustainable futures as the guiding principle, these juries and workshops enable ideas to be explored and perspectives to be shared (Wakeford et al, ). There are limitations to this approach (Crosby, ) but they do enable a means for all the community to make a contribution and understand the limitations, concerns and viewpoints of others joined within the debate.…”

Tales from the riverside: What community stories can tell us about sustainable water resources management practices

The integrity of renewable freshwater resources is critical for ensuring sustainable futures. Developing strategies to mediate and encourage symbiosis between the dominant discourses of sustainable water resources management and indigenous knowledge and practice is essential. This paper asserts that storytelling plays a central role in the way that people understand and articulate their "lifeworld": the people, values and actions that make sense to them. Empirical fieldwork, undertaken within three interconnected riparian communities, captures these community stories to reveal the nuanced ways experiential learning and community action enact sustainable local water resources management at the riverside. Paying closer attention to community stories could enable those involved in dominant sustainability discourses not only to critically engage with indigenous knowledge and practice, but also to provide opportunities to find ways to seed these stories with the wider "big history" perspective so essential to supporting sustainable futures, and water resource integrity, over the long term.

“…The citizens' jury is an approach to participation that has been repeated hundreds of times (Coote and Lenaghan, 1997;Jefferson Center, 2004;Kashefi and Keene, 2008;Kuruganti et al, 2008;Wakeford et al, 2015). Of the times I have been involved in organizing, supporting, and studying these processes over 17 years, I have chosen eight case studies to illustrate the importance of context.…”

People's Knowledge and Participatory Action Research offers a radical exploration of the deep knowledge held within communities under siege by neoliberalism and traditional forms of science; the dedicated refusal to surrender this knowledge to the hegemonic gaze of "experts", grip of white supremacy or bribes of corporate interests, and the joy and delicacies of engaging in participatory research for justice. A must-read for community-based researchers and even more so for academics deluded by fantasies of expertise. Congratulations!'

“…Existing approaches to participatory action research [47,48] and public science [49] demonstrate how formally-trained researchers can co-produce both understanding and plans for action with those whose learning has been experiential. Regarding the quality of research, hundreds of cases, ranging from smartphone-enabled air pollution monitoring 9 to peasant farmers [50], demonstrate the vital role those who lack the formal training of a scientist can play in expanding and advancing science [51].…”

Citizen science is key to the success of Future Earth Initiatives for urban sustainability. Emerging research in urban land teleconnections highlights the benefits of incorporating theoretical insights from political ecology and participatory action research. Reviewing some of the forces propelling the recent popularity of citizen science, this article outlines challenges to processes of collaboration between scientists and non-scientists. We distinguish these concerns from others that may arise from the data or other products resulting from citizen science projects. Careful consideration of the processes and products of citizen science could engender a more fruitful relationship between professional scientists and their research communities and help universities to build effective partnerships with those in wider society whose expertise comes from their life experience.
