Research by Professionals

• In Event: Researching Professionals working with Youth at Risk

Abstract

In the last paper of this panel the floor is to a professional participating in action research in cooperation with academics.
In this paper an example of a research project is given from the view of a participating professional, in this case in the role of both researcher and subject of research. The focus of the project is on professionals working with a Roma population.

Pros and cons of the double role of the researcher/professional will be discussed and its implications for further development of the model.
