Good morning all!
I promised to share some of the background to my threads. This post introduces what I was thinking about when I mentioned the ethical framework earlier.
One of the first things we did was a values check. These are RadHR’s. These are Roxanne’s. We agreed politically-aligned working principles for this project.
- Non-extractive: This is an analysis of participation patterns and structures
- Non-evaluative: Every response is a contribution to shared meaning-making, not a quotable illustrative “data point”.
- Non-managerial: Any facilitation to follow social pedagogies
- Non-hierarchical: Low barriers to entry, conversation led
The deficit language makes me uncomfortable and also seems important to create distance from regular surveys, consultations, workshops, and so on. I could rephrase more positively but I think that would undermine the ‘anti’ positioning.
