Abstract

Situated practice research offers rich possibilities for recognising and developing practitioner knowledge in social care. In this article, I document the application of anthropological methods and thinking within a research programme in autism services. Drawing on Donald Schön’s model of the reflective practitioner, I argue that participant observation, aimed at the holistic documentation of autism services, provides a means to systematic reflection, comparison and learning in order to inform practice. This approach stands to broaden the field of autism research from unidirectional models of knowledge ‘translation’ to include research and insights generated from services. I also advocate the relational nature of anthropology as a means to meaningfully engage autistic people with intellectual disabilities in research through collaboration with practitioner researchers.

自闭症服务中的反思实践者和参与者观察者

情境实践研究为认识和发展社会关怀的实践者知识提供了丰富的可能性。在这篇文章中，我记录了人类学方法和思想在自闭症服务研究项目中的应用。根据Donald Schön的反思性实践者模型，我认为，旨在全面记录自闭症服务的参与性观察，为系统的反思、比较和学习提供了一种手段，以便为实践提供信息。这种方法将拓宽自闭症研究领域，从单向的知识“翻译”模型扩展到包括从服务中产生的研究和见解。我也提倡人类学的关系本质，作为一种手段，通过与实践性研究人员的合作，有意义地让患有智障的自闭症患者参与研究。

期刊介绍： Anthropology in Action (AIA) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing articles, commentaries, research reports, and book reviews in applied anthropology. Contributions reflect the use of anthropological training in policy- or practice-oriented work and foster the broader application of these approaches to practical problems. The journal provides a forum for debate and analysis for anthropologists working both inside and outside academia and aims to promote communication amongst practitioners, academics and students of anthropology in order to advance the cross-fertilisation of expertise and ideas. Recent themes and articles have included the anthropology of welfare, transferring anthropological skills to applied health research, design considerations in old-age living, museum-based anthropology education, cultural identities and British citizenship, feminism and anthropology, and international student and youth mobility.
