  Paluch, R., Cerna, K., Kirschsieper, D. & Müller, C. (2023)Practices of Care in Participatory Design With Older Adults During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Digitally Mediated Study

  IN Journal of Medical Internet Research, Vol. 25, Pages: e45750 doi:10.2196/45750
  [BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]

  Background: Participatory Design (PD), albeit an established approach in User-Centered Design, comes with specific challenges when working with older adults as research participants. Addressing these challenges relates to the reflection and negotiation of the positionalities of the researchers and research participants and includes various acts of giving and receiving help. During the COVID-19 pandemic, facets of positionalities and (mutual) care became particularly evident in qualitative and participatory research settings. Objective: The aim of this paper was to systematically analyze care practices of participatory (design) research, which are to different extents practices of the latter. Using a multiyear PD project with older people that had to take place remotely over many months, we specify different practices of care; how they relate to collaborative work in the design project; and represent foundational practices for sustainable, long-term co-design. Our research questions were “How can digitally-mediated PD work during COVID-19 and can we understand such digital PD as ‘care’?” Methods: Our data comes from the Joint Programming Initiative “More Years, Better Lives” (JPI MYBL), a European Union project that aims to promote digital literacy and technology appropriation among older adults in domestic settings. It targeted the cocreation, by older adults and university researchers, of a mobile demo kit website with cocreated resources, aimed at improving the understanding of use options of digital tools. Through a series of workshops, a range of current IT products was explored by a group of 21 older adults, which served as the basis for joint cocreative work on generating design ideas and prototypes. We reflect on the PD process and examine how the actors enact and manifest care. Results: The use of digital technology allowed the participatory project to continue during the COVID-19 pandemic and accentuated the digital skills of older adults and the improvement of digital literacy as part of “care.” We provide empirically based evidence of PD with older adults developing digital literacy and sensitizing concepts, based on the notion of care by Tronto for differentiating aspects and processes of care. The data suggest that it is not enough to focus solely on the technologies and how they are used; it is also necessary to focus on the social structures in which help is available and in which technologies offer opportunities to do care work. Conclusions: We document that the cocreation of different digital media tools can be used to provide a community with mutual care. Our study demonstrates how research participants effectively enact different forms of care and how such “care” is a necessary basis for a genuinely participatory approach, which became especially meaningful as a form of support during COVID-19. We reflect on how notions of “care” and “caring” that were central to the pandemic response are also central to PD.

  Kaspar, H., Kirschsieper, D., Müller, C. & Gashi, S. (2023)Co-producing knowledge: Reflections from a community-based participatory research project on caring communities to strengthen ageing in place

  IN Routledge International Handbook of Participatory Approaches in Ageing Research
  [BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]

  A key claim of participatory approaches from all theoretical and disciplinary provenances is the goal to build equal research partnerships of scholars and citizens and/or professionals to co-create knowledge that benefits communities or social groups. Valuing and integrating diverse sets of knowledge such as experiences from everyday life and professional practice, contextual, relational, and conceptual knowledge is commonly stated as requisite. However, few accounts exist that provide reflections let alone guidance on the complex doing of co-producing knowledge. The chapter contributes to the development of participatory approaches in ageing research by providing insights from a community-based participatory research project initiating caring communities as a social and health initiative to support ageing in place in Switzerland. We reflect on a three-year research partnership between academics from two universities and residents, professionals, and political leaders in one of the project’s pilot municipalities. We explore which different sets of knowledge emerge in moments of cooperation and how they interact. We identify two forms of interaction between sets of knowledge: (1) working in parallel on clearly assigned tasks and (2) getting into each other to create novel solutions. Participatory research is well positioned to create momentum for a move from mode 1 to mode 2 production of knowledge with inspiration and information flowing in both ways between science and society.

  Struzek, D., Kirschsieper, D. & Müller, C. (2022)Introduction and adaptation of an urban neighborhood platform for rural areas

  doi:10.48340/ecscw2022_p08
  [BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]

  Various digital tools can be used to strengthen neighborhoods. This paper reports on a publicly funded participatory cross-sectional project in six German villages. In order to fulfill requirements of the villages, which were identified in citizen workshops together with local stakeholders, a selection procedure was carried out and the decision was made to use an already existing and known neighborhood platform. We demonstrate the challenges posed by the fact that the platform was not actually designed for the specific requirements of rural villages, but for larger cities or urban areas, so that various processes of adaptation and implementation had to be carried out. We reflect trade-offs and negotiations between research-led and community-oriented demands in the introduction and adaptation phase of the neighborhood platform in respect to usage motivations and roles of local stakeholder groups.
