Keynote Speakers

David Coghlan (Professor Emeritus at the Trinity Business School, Trinity College Dublin)

This presentation will be held in Room CQ107 from 15.20 - 17.00 on Friday 24 June

David Coghlan Trinity College Professor Emeritus

"Building and Enhancing Quality in Organizational Action Research"

David will present a complete framework of action research and explore how it comprises four interlocking factors which act as the basis for designing and implementing action research and in assessing coherence and quality in published accounts. He will suggest how interiority, a mode of reflective thinking, is the key to considering the framework. He will be assisted by Steve Kroeger whose spontaneous drawing techniques will enhance the framework and animate the discussion. 

David Coghlan is Professor Emeritus at the Trinity Business School, Trinity College Dublin. He is the author of several books on action research, including, Doing Action Research in Your Own Organization (Sage, 5th ed 2019) and Conducting Action Research for Business and Management Students (with A.B. Shani, Sage 2018) and is co-editor (with M. Brydon-Miller) of the SAGE Encyclopedia of Action Research (2014).

"Drawing and Visualization in the Service of Action Research"

This session will be held in Room CQ307 from 13.30 to 16.00 on Thursday 23 June.

Steve Kroeger’s experience as a faculty member at University of Cincinnati includes developing cultural competence and critical thinking with preservice teachers to unleash the academic excellence of their students.  Work among teachers in the Palestinian West Bank has been a highlight of the past several years.  Current endeavors embrace microteaching, cartooning, and visual facilitation.

This session will explore our human mother tongue of drawing at the service of action research. During this workshop participants will experiment with drawing, beginning with a simple self-portrait that we will use to get introduced. After that Steve will briefly outline some of the history of rich picture and pictorial conceptual models used in systemic action research and other sciences. The main fun begins when participants will be invited to visually map their current narrative or the complex system that they currently find themselves in. If time allows, we will also innovate with our drawings around spontaneous drawing techniques that aim to distil core ideas and values. At the end we will investigate the connections we see among our visual work produced during the workshop. Come prepared to engage, take some risks, and see what happens. A special note to reassure those who consider themselves “non-artists,” this session was design especially with you in mind. The process is very supportive and accepting of all modes of expression.
