This is illustrated by three examples of patient activ- ism, or what we call “un-invited” patient involvement, taken from the literature on medical sociology and science studies. Drawing on these examples, we outline different ways in which patients and publics can act not merely as participants who have been invited into research processes by credentialed experts, but as actors, activ- ists and experts in their own right. They can initiate or transform research agendas, build research networks or, even take the lead in knowledge production. In particular, we focus on the strategies through which credibility and authority can be achieved within this medical context and traditional medical ideals of objectivity, neutrality and hard evidence. In closing, we pose new questions and encourage further debate on the role of “uninvited” participation and activism in the co-production of biomedical knowledge.","PeriodicalId":285489,"journal":{"name":"Academic Quarter | Akademisk kvarter","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129758350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In collaborative studies in general, dialogue is often highlighted as an important process element with important implications for empowerment for those involved. However, the underlying understandings and implications of dialogic practice are seldom examined in depth. We raise a critical reflexive discussion on different approaches to dialogic engagement and present four high-level discourses guiding organizational scholarship to discuss crucial differences and similarities. Moreover, we outline seven researcher ideal types that reflect diverse degrees of dialogic engagement. Our aspiration is to provide useful insights, models, and questions that can guide participatory scholars in fostering critical awareness of their own position and the sometimes taken-for-granted assumptions guiding their studies.","PeriodicalId":285489,"journal":{"name":"Academic Quarter | Akademisk kvarter","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123376891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The service users thus become – at least in theory – equal partners, who are assigned great responsibility for planning, implementing and evaluating public welfare services.In this account, the role of frontline employees is reframed as complementary to and supportive of the empowered service users. This article investigates the (new) role ascribed to frontline employees as professional co-producers by focusing on the dilemmas and pressures they may experience during the implementation of co-production. The article emphasizes the importance of frontline employees and organizations building relational and interpersonal capacities to bring service users and other stakeholders together for a common goal in situations of interdependence.","PeriodicalId":285489,"journal":{"name":"Academic Quarter | Akademisk kvarter","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131858994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Action research was used to gather data from four cases in three Norwegian mu- nicipalities. Data were analyzed by using thematic analysis. Find- ings indicate that employees working closely with recipients of welfare services need professional support to understand co-crea- tion and develop an own sense of professional confidence. There is a need for methodical competence, local experiential competence and target group competence. The study shows that proper prepa- rations before involving the recipients is essential, along with safe, supportive, collegial unities internally in the services. Co-creation seems to function as a change process bringing forth competence, provided there’s an organizational framework for it. A dedicated co-creation team of employees with complementary competencies seems essential to succeed.","PeriodicalId":285489,"journal":{"name":"Academic Quarter | Akademisk kvarter","volume":"20 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132610140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
