Interactive social sciences: Patronage or partnership?

Abstract

The discipline of social work has existed in universities for most of this century, and arrangements for professional education require academics to interact with policy makers and practitioners in a variety of ways, but that very interaction has created uncertain conditions for social work in the academy. Drawing on a piece of interdisciplinary/interactive research, this paper argues that the opportunities for social scientists to be interactive has never been greater, and that interactivity should involve service users and citizens. However, such a claim can lead to accusations of research as patronising and oppressive because of lack of attention to the distribution of power. It concludes that developments in methodology offer potential for effective interactivity. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
