The School of Social Sciences cordially invited to a seminar by Prof Louise Bezuidenhout. Engaged research is an ongoing and reflective process of collaboration, inclusivity, and a shared sense of purpose between researchers and community stakeholders. Within engaged research, real-life issues are addressed through the co-creation of knowledge to bring about meaningful change. This is done within cooperative partnerships to empower partners towards the sustainability and well being of all.
Title: The Utilisation of Engaged Research Towards the Well-Being of Internal Stakeholders: A Case Study.
The case study
The researchers were approached by members of a communication advisory committee at a retirement village in South Africa, who requested assistance with their internal communication. These committee members argued that internal communication issues are influencing the well-being of the residents, but they were unclear on the extent of these issues and how to address them. The researchers and these advisory committee members formed a partnership where there was active participation by all partners in the research process. This included the research design, measuring instruments, data collection, data analysis, writing the research report, and the implementation of the findings.
