“…As part of the work to instigate the study discussed in this paper I stressed in the grant application that this would be about building capacity for inclusive research by sharing understandings, taking stock and thereby developing deeper insights as well as practical guidance. I have since looked at inclusive research and inclusive education together, and I have argued that they should come together more often than they do (Nind 2014b). And, in this paper, I bring together inclusive research and learning in a different way, following the data to see where they lead in terms of what I can say about inclusive research as a site for learning.…”

This paper explores the learning that goes on when adults with learning disabilities are involved in inclusive (participatory or emancipatory) research. Applying thematic and narrative re-analysis of data from a series of focus groups involving inclusive researchers talking about their research work indicates inclusive research is a rich site for learning. The nature of the new knowledge (know-what and know-how) about the process and products of inclusive research, as well as more transferrable interpersonal learning and development of problem-solving are examined. Participants had, in their involvement in inclusive research, learned to occupy new roles; their narratives are of important and largely enjoyable learning journeys. In an effort to theoretically situate such learning, the paper discusses the fit between the learning evident in the data and concepts of lifelong learning, informal learning, and community learning.

La necesidad de avanzar hacia la investigación inclusiva The need to move towards inclusive research RESUMEN Los retos que actualmente se plantean desde la inclusión social y educativa nos llevan a reflexionar sobre la investigación que estamos llevando a cabo para contribuir a la transformación de sociedades más justas y equitativas. En este texto artículo se debate sobre cuestiones básicas como éticas de la investigación, que toda aquella persona que quisiera investigar debiera cuestionarse. Reconociendo que a la vez que la educación es política, la investigación también lo es, nuestra apuesta es continuar avanzando hacia una investigación inclusiva acorde con los postulados de la educación inclusiva. Se concluye destacando lo necesario que resulta trabajar en el principio de colaboración, el protagonismo de los y las participantes de las diferentes fases de la investigación y la inclusión de los más vulnerables, entre otros, siendo conscientes de las ventajas y oportunidades que brinda este enfoque dentro de la responsabilidad social investigadora y en beneficio de una sociedad más justa e igualitaria. Palabras clave: inclusión; ética; investigación inclusiva AbStRAct ism for regulating the academic market The challenges that currently arise from social and educational inclusion lead us to reflect about the research that we are involved in order to contribute to the transformation of more fair and equitable society. In this article, the meaning of research about basic and ethical questions is debated, that all those who would like to investigate should be questioned. Recognizing that while education is political, so is research, our commitment is to continue moving towards inclusive research in line with the postulates of inclusive education. It is concluded by highlighting the need to work on the principle of collaboration, the role of participants in the different phases of research and the inclusion of the most vulnerable, among others, being aware of the advantages and opportunities offered by this approach within a social responsible research and for the benefit of a more just and equal society.

“…The synthesised polyvocal account of the findings was ultimately subject to discussion and checking in a whole-day event involving everyone together in participant validation tasks. The method of incorporating visual stimuli and metaphors to provoke dialogue is discussed in detail elsewhere (Nind and Vinha, 2016), but I argue in this article that the process of talking together on repeated occasions over a period of several months was important for teasing out and building on the phronesis we had accumulated separately and together.…”

“…The groups met and re-met three times so that the dialogic spaces were interspersed with reflective spaces. This allowed the research to be responsive to the agendas of participant-researchers and for them to iteratively and actively engage with the data they were generating through their ongoing dialogue (Nind and Vinha, 2016). An additional one-off focus group was held with funders of inclusive research.…”

The concept of inclusive research epitomizes the transformation away from research on people, to research with them. Applied particularly, but not exclusively, in the field of learning disabilities, the concept encapsulates the drive to involve people in the design and conduct of research about them, reach and represent their lived experience, respect them and value different ways of knowing. This article discusses some of the challenges that UK inclusive researchers have shared in focus groups aimed at taking stock of this transformative movement and it shares how a local UK research collaboration between academics and people with learning disabilities has addressed some of these challenges. Inclusive research methods of generating and analysing data are examined within the broader context of how research projects and partnerships are enacted. The article concludes that doing research inclusively is gradually transforming through collective practical wisdom and praxis.
