I will outline how I researched the need for a new paradigm to gain the understanding and energy to make the changes we need to become an ecologically sustainable society. I will reflect on how I drew on Peter Reason and John Heron&#8217;s emerging participatory paradigm (1997) and Thomas Berry&#8217;s Dream of the Earth (1988) to suggest the contours of a new cosmological paradigm.<\/li>\n<li>Third cycle of inquiry. I will examine how I inquired into my practice as a community activist and senior manager at Neighbourhood level in a local authority to envision elements of a new management for Gaia, drawing on extended ways of knowing.<\/li>\n<li>Fourth cycle of inquiry. How can the contribute of action research for sustainability be taken out further?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this SR+ session, we hope to celebrate academic research as a contribution to growing an ecologically sustainable planet with the aid of a little creativity as well.\u00a0 I will invite the audience to participate\u00a0 individually, in pairs and in a small group.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday 7th May, 12-1.30pm,\u00a0Charles Carter C37\/40 Lancaster University with Dr Dr Helena Kettleborough, Manchester Metropolitan University Explorations in first person inquiry and a new cosmological paradigm to examine our practice to learn our way into a more sustainable future Given &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/2015\/05\/01\/may-7th-seminar-explorations-in-first-person-inquiry-and-a-new-cosmological-paradigm\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":79,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[44,42,43,36],"class_list":["post-327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-action-research","tag-inquiry","tag-practice","tag-reflective","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/79"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=327"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":328,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327\/revisions\/328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
