Peter Reason was Director of the Centre for Action Research in Professional Practice at the University of Bath, England, and an international leader in the development of participative approaches to inquiry. He co-edited the Handbook of Action Research: Participative Inquiry and Practice (2006, 2008) and co-founded the journal Action Research. Since retiring from full time academic work, Peter’s two books Spindrift: A wilderness pilgrimage at sea (2014) and In Search of Grace: An ecological pilgrimage (2017) weave explorations of the human place in the ecology of the planet into the stories of sailing voyages. His most recent publications (with artist Sarah Gillespie) are On Presence (2019) and On Sentience (2021); and (with Jacqueline Kurio), Voicing Rivers through Ontopoetics: A Co-operative Inquiry. River Research and Applications, Special Issue: ‘Voicing Rivers’ (2022).
