Doing Critical Educational Research: A Conversation with the Research of John Smyth

English

By (author): Barry Down John Smyth Peter McInerney Robert Hattam

John Smyths remarkable body of writing, research and scholarship has spanned four decades, and the urgency of our times makes it imperative to look in some depth at the breadth of his research and its trajectory, in order to see how we can connect, extend, build and enrich our understandings from it. Possibly the single most unique aspect to Smyths version of critical research is his passion for living and doing what it means to be a critical pedagogue. For him, doing is a verb that gives expression to what he believes it means to be a critical scholar. This necessitates actively listening to lives; taking on an advocacy position with informant groups; displaying a commitment to praxis; and being activist in celebrating local responses to global issues. Smyths research is pursued with vigour through the lives he researches, as he interrupts and punctures bad theory, supplanting it with more democratic alternatives, which, by his own admission, makes his research (and all research), political.
