    Engaging for sustainable development and transformation: exploring the concept of transformative academic institutions
    (Brill Academic Publishers, 2024) Canto Farachala, Martha Patricia; Smith, Madeline; Wise, Emily; Johnson, Michael Pierre
    Universities are expected to play a proactive role in the sustainable development and transformation of their regions. However, they face external and internal barriers to play that role. One possible approach to overcome those barriers is through transformative academic institutions (TAIs). TAIs are defined as research centres created within universities to proactively engage in territorial development processes and can act as 'living labs' from which universities can draw lessons when developing a regionally engaged role. The article explores the TAI concept further by posing the following research question: How does the TAI approach look like in different contexts? What factors support and/or hinder TAI development? To that end, we analyse the case of five academic partners working in different organisational research settings within larger university structures. Our exploration of TAI practices followed an action research approach with participatory design methods to identify commonalities, challenges, and opportunities. Findings point to a more strategic partnering with external (non-academic) actors to contribute to (longer-term) change processes that address regional sustainability challenges. This can take universities towards new roles in curating collective knowledge and catalysing and facilitating change.

    Research institutes as change agents in territorial development: An analytical framework on responsible research communication
    (Universidad de Deusto, 2019-03-25) Canto Farachala, Martha Patricia; Larrea Aranguren, Miren; Eizagirre Eizagirre, Andoni; Facultad de Ciencias Sociales y Humanas; Programa de Doctorado en Derechos Humanos: Retos Éticos, Sociales y Políticos por la Universidad de Deusto
    Research institutes created within universities with the explicit mission of engaging in the socio-economic development of their territories can help universities to overcome the challenges they face when attempting to produce socially relevant knowledge. Through their more open and flexible governance, such institutes can develop research processes with other territorial actors to address local or regional challenges and produce new knowledge relevant in academia. While the literature has addressed how such research processes develop, highlighting the role played by dialogue, considerably less attention is paid to how the research outputs of dialogical research processes are communicated. This dissertation addresses the gap in the literature on the dialogical dissemination of research outputs. To that end, it builds an analytical framework on Responsible Research Communication (RRC) in two steps. The first step identifies the main features of responsible research communication through a literature review on Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) and Communication for Development and Social Change (CDSC). The second step tests the analytical framework in practice using action research as a method. The action research process consists of helping two researchers to communicate a research output (a book) reflecting on the features of the analytical framework on RRC. The lessons learnt from testing the theoretical features in practice are incorporated and the analytical framework is reformulated. The robustness of the reformulated analytical framework on RRC is then tested with a diversity of researchers working in a research institute with the explicit mission of acting as an agent of change in its territory. The dissertation concludes with recommendations on RRC for research institutes, stakeholders and individual researchers and opens future lines of research.
