Dialogical research and social worlds: considering the application of duoethnography in counselling and psychotherapy research聽
Discussion paper
John Hills explores duoethnography, an emerging research method where two or more researchers enter into dialogue on a social phenomenon and reflexively critique their own positions, arriving at new understanding2. One of the strengths of duoethnography, is that knowledge can be arrived at through difference rather than through consensus, and research findings may be presented as a multiplicity of perspectives. John also explores the potential of duoethnography in counselling and psychotherapy research to articulate key contemporary issues.
What happens when we feedback research to participants?聽
Discussion paper
Tom Matthews explains that as part of a photo-elicitation, participant-led methodology exploring, What is important to looked-after young people during adolescence?, the research returned to participants following analysis. Tom explored their experience of the research process and what happens when a researcher returns to participants to present their analysis. The feedback phase connected with the human experience of participating in research and the experience of giving your story in the form of data.
