Across the world and locally, many places and people are experiencing social division, isolation, and turbulence in their workplaces and communities. Social tension can be witnessed at macro and micro levels and may be exacerbated when attempts are made to identify and address challenges within communities and teams.

Action research can offer hope as a mechanism to creating new ways to bridge divisions, heal schisms and disable conflict.

For the Action Research Colloquium 2022 we will engage in conversations on using action research to bridge divisions and heal organisational and social fractures in the workplace and /or community or groups.

This year the event will be hosted by the School of Hospitality Management and Tourism, TU Dublin. Keynote speakers are Prof David Coughlan, Trinity College Dublin and Prof Steve Kroeger, University of Cincinnati.

The event will take place in person on TU Dublin's Grangegorman Campus on Friday June 24th with two optional pre-colloquium workshops taking place on Thursday June 23rd.
