We have come to the final publications!

The literature review examines 140 sources and serves to orient us into the intellectual context of the topic and also to orient the users of our work. But it is also just one of the techniques and methods we applied. These also include a baseline and an exit survey to formulate initial and test final hypotheses; in-depth interviews to extract meanings in safe spaces; two action-learning groups as mini-labs on the issues with 17 members and 13 meetings for each; and two community meetings to set the groundwork and enable community from the participants in the action-learning groups;  focus groups to gather material for the action learning groups to work with, and to make sense of the material gathered by the groups themselves for the purposes of the research; discourse analysis of media materials to test the presence and 'power' of discourses identified through the other techniques; participatory research in an eco-social movement; and further exploration of the wider system through a series of events in which we engaged as participants, co-organisers and facilitators to 'take the pulse' of the issues in their lived context.
