Issue 2

CARN Praxis

Issue 2, Autumn 2023

Welcome to CARN Praxis (https://carnpraxis.org/). A publication project of the Collaborative Action Research Network, CARN (https://www.carn.org.uk/).

CARN Praxis is a collaborative and supportive space for newcomers to share their accounts of undertaking Action Research.

You will notice that Issue Two looks a little different this year. We have opted for a web-based format to allow for easier navigation, and to allow you to read and download articles separately, as you would in any other online journal. All articles can be accessed via the hyperlinks in the contents page.
