“…It is here that feminist participatory action research (PAR) offers promise, particularly given its deployment in development studies (Holte-McKenzie et al, 2006;Sangtin Writers and Nagar, 2006) as well as social analyses of sport and leisure (Frisby et al, 2009;Reid and Frisby, 2008). PAR is defi ned as 'a participatory process concerned with developing practical knowing in the pursuit of worthwhile human purposes' (Reason and Bradbury, 2008: 4).…”

Sport is now mobilized as a novel and effective means of achieving international development goals, leading to an increasingly institutionalized relationship between sport and development. While there is recent evidence of the effectiveness of Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) programmes and policies, research has also drawn attention to the relations of power that underpin the movement and, in particular, to colonizing tendencies in SDP initiatives. This article explores this critical research and considers it against the insights and importance of a development praxis concerned with decolonization. We argue that SDP scholars and activists would be well served to consider the main tenets of a decolonizing framework and we put forth some theoretical and methodological imperatives for decolonizing sport for development.

“…As we have previously reported, we have operated from a feminist approach to participatory action research for several years (Frisby, Reid, Millar, & Hoeber, 2005;Frisby, Reid & Ponic, 2007). Feminist means that we focus on gender as it intersects with other axis of oppression (e.g., race, ethnicity, social class) to more fully understand the underlying mechanisms of social inequality because this is sometimes overlooked in other participatory research (Frisby, Maguire, & Reid, 2009;Reid & Frisby, 2008). In our study, the participatory dimension involved bringing the immigrant Chinese women, local government staff, provincial and federal sport policy makers, and community partners together with the researchers for a two-day Multiculturalism, Sport, and Physical Activity Workshop to share and discuss the results from interviews conducted earlier (see Creese, Huang, Frisby, & Ngene-Kamere, in press, for a discussion of the methodological challenges involved).…”

“…This is because it is not possible to be neutral and therefore it is important for the researcher to be open about their ideological position (Reid and Frisby, 2008). The degree of reflexivity is also important.…”

“…Instead, there has to be a high degree of ethical-political judgement (Huzzard and Björkman, 2012;Reid and Frisby, 2008;Watson, 2010) born of exhaustive self and collective reflexivity (Denis and Lehoux, 2008). However, this judgement should be continually debated and amended through thick accountable relations with agents -and ultimately with external others via academic and public debate.…”

Partisan, scholarly and active: arguments for an organic public sociology of work

Despite a thriving tradition of critical scholarship in United Kingdom-based sociology of work, Burawoy's call for a partisan organic public sociology that is part of 'a social movement beyond the academy' and Bourdieu's plea for committed scholarship in the service of the social movement against neo-liberalism have received scant attention.This article seeks to stimulate debate by presenting a framework for a left-radical organic public sociology of work based on Gramsci's concept of the connected organic intellectual rather than Bourdieu's expert committed scholar. The latter, it is argued, is ultimately incompatible with activist partisan scholarship based on democratised relations between researchers and researched. Participatory ActionResearch is offered as a methodological orientation that underpins and enables organic scholars of work to engage actively with the marginalised and labour in the co-creation of knowledge that aids their struggles for change.
