How does the co-production process influence the capacity for transformative resilience according to the URExSRN co-production process?

  1. URExSRN Survey Process
  1. Transcribing the WS
  1. Applying the RESCU framework
  1. Developing the Code Book

Basic Understanding: Survey

Of the survey respondents, who attended the workshop?

Identify stakeholder position (e.g. local government, practitioner, formal non-profit, informal non-profit)

How many people participated?

Survey Responses

Resilience and knowledge system understandings

How do participants frame production of new knowledge?

Power dynamics - practitioner/local government vs. community

How do respondents define resilience

Identify relationships between participants

What is the extent of facilitator involvement?

Who is leading the conversation?

How do participants frame inequity?

How do conceptions of resilience evolve over the course of the recording? Does knowledge production occur?

After transcribing the workshop recordings, identify the kind of co-production that occurs according the theoretical framework

Co-production as an aspirational goal?

A reconfiguration of power dynamics that challenges the local/expert binary

Transformative agency that encourages a reconfiguration of power dynamics through the explicit recognition of systemic inequities or histories of injustice

Following co-production identification, assess how the co-production process influences resilience outcomes

To what extent do the resilience outcomes centralize equity?

To what extent are the resilience plans transformative?

How do the resilience plans incorporate the production of new knowledge?
