“…Our paper is similar to Merz (2002) in the sense that we, too, describe the process and product of reflecting on research methods, writ large. However, our reflection was: (a) collaborative rather than individual and in fact responded to emergent discourse problems; (b) occurred prior to the intervention, not after it, so that it was formative of the data we ultimately collected (cf.…”

“…Our search through the archives of Reflective Practice going back a decade was equally unsuccessful in yielding reports on the reflective practice of designers, save the following near hit. Merz (2002) describes the role of reflection in the ongoing evolution of a research designa reflection that she conducted even as the post-intervention data analysis was still progressing. This process was characterized by a dialectic tuning of her investigative methods to insights that emerged for her in the data corpus.…”

Can reflective practice help an interdisciplinary team collaborate? When a new team begins negotiating their working process toward achieving project deliverables, members implicitly bring diverse professional practices to the table. Once minimal common ground has been established, members specify what they each need from the other in order to implement their respective expertise. This process of imposing mutual constraints results in adjusted workflow protocols that may modify participants' regular course of action yet are vital for facilitating the collaboration. Yet, we argue, this discursive process of negotiating collaboration protocols in interdisciplinary projects may result in more than just surface reconfiguration of local practices. The negotiation may yield an articulated reification of implicit know-how in the form of new theoretical constructs bearing potential impact beyond the local context of the project. We support the argument by presenting and analyzing archived records gathered from an interdisciplinary project, in which educational researchers and technology engineers collaborated in creating new instructional media for young mathematics students. In the course of struggling to formulate a mutually coherent workflow, the team 'stepped back' to formulate new goals that would address their coordination challenges. In turn, these goals implicated a new theoretical architecture that we present.

PurposeThis phenomenological study aims to explore how media promote and should promote wheelchair rugby.Design/methodology/approachSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 31 athletes at National Wheelchair Rugby Championship. In using a reflective thematical analysis approach, three themes were identified – media coverage: the promise of an unknown quantity; the battle of inspiration and athleticism; and leverage marketing and promote the “wow”.FindingsLacking fair representation from media resulting in the perception and reception gap between the general public and spectators was identified and explained by most of the athletes. Besides urging increased coverage with a shifting focus on athleticism, the important role of marketing was highlighted.Originality/valueIn short, the “wow” factor of the sport is its aggressiveness which can be its bestselling feature and used by stakeholders for maximum impact when marketing wheelchair rugby.

“…Specifically, the editorial process provides insight into epistemological and methodological issues that have been pointed out by Hughes, Pennington, and Makris (2012). It is also informative for discussions regarding emergent design (Merz, 2002).…”

An instance of editorial work was found to address methodological issues at the juncture of autoethnography and narrative inquiry. The particular case is reported because it addresses the conceptual basis of known methodological issues. The case involved interactions between a chapter author and editors of a book as well as between the editors. Although the chapter was autoethnographic as initially submitted, through the use of research-oriented open-ended questioning, the editors engaged with the author causing the author to gain a deeper insight and richer narrative regarding his own experience. The result bridges the gap between autoethnography and narrative inquiry. Interactions between the editors were directed at providing constructive support while leaving ownership of the narrative with the author. The process has features overlapping and distinct from duoethnography. An empirical explanation is proposed through the reconciliation of philosophical stances of the author and editors. Key words: Autoethnography, narrative inquiry, emergent design, duoethnography, editorial methodology Un exemple de travail éditorial a permis d’aborder des questions méthodologiques à la jonction de l’autoethnographie et de l’enquête narrative. Le cas particulier à l’étude porte sur la base conceptuelle de questions méthodologiques connues. Le cas implique des interactions entre l’auteur d’un chapitre et les éditeurs d’un livre, ainsi que des interactions entre les éditeurs. Bien que le chapitre ait été autoethnographique lors de la soumission initiale, l’emploi par les éditeurs de questions ouvertes axées sur la recherche et communiquées à l’auteur lui a permis d’arriver à des connaissances approfondies et à un récit enrichi relativement à ses propres expériences. Les résultats jettent un pont entre l’autoethnographie et l’enquête narrative. Les interactions entre les éditeurs visaient à apporter un appui constructif tout en permettant à l’auteur de conserver son récit. Certaines caractéristiques du processus chevauchent la duoethnographie; d’autres s’en distinguent. Nous proposons une explication empirique née de la réconciliation des positions philosophiques de l’auteur et des éditeurs. Mots clés: autoethnographie, enquête narrative, modèle émergent, duoethnographie, méthodologie éditoriale
