Harry Kruiter is co-founder at Public Value Institute (IPW). Before that he was doing participatory action research for Leiden university at the crossroads of social and physical urban redevelopment when based in the Hague (2007-2010). And before that that he was a policymaker. We talk about his work and recently published paper which centers around three important parts: 1) action: helping people and projects get unstuck by supporting bureaucracy breakthrough; 2) knowledge: analyzing bureaucratic burdens and opportunities; 3) learning: teaching and co-developing structural solutions with professionals in bureaucracies.

In this interview Hilary Bradbury, curator at AR+ Foundation and editor-in-chief at Action Research journal talks with fellow action researcher Dr. Marina Apgar.
Marina is an associate editor at ARJ and works with the Inst for Development Studies at U. Sussex in UK. In the interview we aim to bring alive the quality choicepoints for the action research that we use to develop papers at ARJ.
We start the interview with Marina sharing about her own action research, specifically a systemic project that worked to build evidence and practical solutions to hazardous child labour in Bangladesh and Nepal. In this the Quality of Sustaining action research comes alive in particular, given the systemic focus of the programme within the context of international development programming (even as Marina touches on all the other choicepoints too).
Additionally, Marina speaks about papers she has helped shepherd to publication at ARJ including a recently published paper by Dr. Kristen Gossling which exemplifies Quality of Participative Methods. There Marina highlights collective analysis of data as an innovation. Finally we hear about Dr. Andy Hamilton’s et al longitudinal action research with boys in Northern Ireland which brings to life the way action researchers can support intentionality of transformation through building and nurturing learning infrastructures.
