Don’t stop drawing, don’t stop research
The devastation and mass killing caused by Israel’s war on Gaza have created an overwhelming sense of helplessness for those committed to peace, freedom and justice for Palestine. The indiscriminate killing of civilians has been perpetrated on a scale that amounts to genocide, according to a 2024 report by the United Nations Special Rapporteur. This is unfolding before our eyes as we watch the news on our screens, but there is little we can do to…
Citizen Social Science for Improved Quality of Life
This article argues for a new methodological approach to research and impact in the social sciences—one based on sustained investment in people and projects at the community level, with the explicit aim of creating citizen-led solutions. The article draws on five years of experience in developing a citizen science methodology in Beirut, Lebanon, in which collaboration between academic researchers and citizen scientists has generated citizen-led i…
Decolonising Deliberation
Tunisia and Lebanon, two states with distinct political trajectories, face converging crises of democratic governance marked by systemic corruption, economic hardship, and public disillusionment. Tunisia’s democratic gains following the Arab Spring are now threatened by authoritarian regression, while Lebanon’s consociational power-sharing system has led to institutional paralysis. Despite these challenges, both countries retain vibrant civil soc…
Sustained Citizen Science From Research to Solutions
Participatory research offers a valuable opportunity for collaboration between universities and citizens. It allows people with diverse educational and professional trajectories outside of academia to become partners in the research process, leading to multiple positive outcomes such as enhanced capacity building, contextually sensitive research design, and effective dissemination of findings. The chain of activities in the standard version of pa…
Local Business, Local Peace? Intergroup and Economic Dynamics
The field of “business for peace” recognizes the role that businesses can play in peacebuilding. However, like much of the discussion concerning business in conflict zones, it has prioritized the view of multinationals, often overlooking the role of indigenous local firms. The economic, social, and intergroup dynamics experienced by local businesses in conflict zones are understudied, with the current paper beginning by positioning micro- and sma…
Citizen social science and pathways to prosperity
This article argues for a citizen social science methodology in which residents from the sites of inquiry play a central role in key activities of the research process and beyond: research design and data collection, presentation and publication of findings, and design and implementation of urban interventions that address challenges to quality of life. This is a way of democratising the research process through sustained engagement with communit…
