%p All members of the cohort must do a pairwork session with every other member each month, lasting at least one hour. These must be in person, with exactly two people, no more or less. This time should be used to work together on a module of your choosing, core or advanced. Notes should be kept on what was achieved at each session.

%h3 Knowledge Production
%div.profile-subtitle Matt Stempeck
%p Knowledge creation is not an isolated or passive endeavour, but a collaborative process shaped by the interactions between individuals, communities, institutions, and their environments. Our approach recognizes that traditional, hierarchical models of knowledge production, where experts or institutions dictate knowledge flows, are insufficient to address the speed and complexity of contemporary challenges (or even reflect current realities).
%p Instead, knowledge (co-)production emphasises collaboration across different sectors and perspectives, including "the people formerly known as the audience" (Jay Rosen), marginalised groups, and other non-academic actors to generate more inclusive, relevant, and socially robust understandings of the world. Consider frameworks like Participatory Action Research (PAR), which emphasises the active involvement of communities and stakeholders in research processes, and transdisciplinarity, where knowledge is produced across disciplinary and non-academic boundaries.
