Abstract
This case study, which introduces The IGP Dissertation Workshop: Research as a Community Practice, is the result of our observations and reflections during a University College London (UCL) ChangeMakers project, where students and staff from the Institute for Global Prosperity (IGP) planned and developed a series of activities to improve research training as well as the academic and emotional support students receive during their dissertation period. The project’s reflections enriched previous conversations on module and program improvements and the conviction that an authentic transformative education needs to be grounded on a constant horizontal dialogue between staff and students. This dialogical process enables a turn from dominant models of education where students are passive receivers of knowledge, which Paulo Freire (1970) called the “banking concept of education”, and walks together towards a learning process where both students and academics teach and are taught, while being co-responsible for their growth and transformation.
