How To <strong>Get</strong> <strong>Involved</strong> Whatever your personal commitments, there is a way for you to get involved with the Jam & Justice project. The three ways to participate are: Becoming an ARC practioner; becoming a friend of the ARC; or joining the network. We are looking to recruit 15 individuals to join us in the ARC as practitioner-researchers. ARC members will receive a flat-rate fee in recognition of their participation in delivering the work programme. ARC members will co-design action research projects in which they may also participate. The ARC will spend nearly three intensive years working together and will need to function as a team. We do not expect consensus and it is important that differences and tensions can be recognised and valued but channelled in such a way as to allow decisions to be made. So it’s important we get to know each other as best as Join the ARC possible. We have a clear set of values and would hope members share our passions and interests for productive working in sometimes difficult boundary spaces in the city. We also have to answer our research questions around co-production and urban governance, so the skills and knowledge that people have to contribute will matter. All of these concerns shape our recruitment process. The approach has been designed to maximise encourage self-selection based on mutual awareness and interest.
