InDialogue Closing Remarks 2016

This session was a crucial part of the dialogic process and methodology. The session was positioned to close the InDialogue 2016 symposium. This conversation took place between Steve Swindells, acting as Chair, and founders Heather Connelly and Rhiannon Jones. The conversation was a research activity to allow us to disseminate activities and questions raised during InDialogue. It was a research process for the sharing of knowledge and allowed a space for drawing together key ideas, questions and reflections from the symposium programme of activity. It was important that initial learning and evaluation of the InDialogue methodology of how it brings people together was also discussed with the public who had actively engaged with the symposium, and who were invited to contribute their feedback and reflections. Key notional thoughts were shared on ideas of transformation and how are we being transformative in our practices, in the way we are thinking about language, and practice and research, and that idea of ‘trans’. Rhiannon Jones pulled together different talks, questions and discussions from the InDialogue Symposium and weaved them together for this event. It was important to demonstrate the through narratives started at InDialogue and link back to the definitions of dialogue that InDialogue methodologically draws on, see Grant Kester, Conversation Pieces, 2010.
