2. Intersecting Processes
cut across scales
involve heterogeneous components
develop over time

5. causality & agency:
distributed, not localized
multiple points of engagement
to modify the course of development
joint & partial responsibility

8. interpreter specificity
-> reflexivity

10. vibrating agency
open questions

11. Opening Up/Out
=> C3. challenge of contributing to a culture of
participatory restructuring
of the distributed conditions of knowledge-making and social change

13. "flexible engagement" challenge for researchers
in any knowledge-making situation =
connect quickly with others
who are almost ready to foster participatory processes
&
through the experience such processes provide their participants
enhance the capacity of others to do likewise
