Dr. Budd Hall is a pioneer – working on pushing our understanding and our ability to work together productively and with maximum shared benefit. He is credited with coining the term “participatory action research” and has been a leader in adult learning – in life-long learning for more years than he cares to admit. This conversation took place in his home in Victoria. Victoria is engaged in some very exciting experiments that are changing the way our institutions work with each other and benefit from active knowledge exchange. I really like the concept of expanding the interaction of “knowledges” and of building evidence for action from many sources. I also like his hopefulness and enthusiasm. Hopefully it rubs off on you all – enjoy.
