Description
Not everything you encounter in the field, needs to be research: “there are some forms of knowledge that the academy doesn’t deserve, and research may not be the intervention that is needed,” as Eve Tuck and K. Wayne Yang (2014) argue in their plea for refusing research. I propose to use the logic of refusing research to make sense of my long-term engagement and collaboration with participatory community theatre Het Rotterdams Wijktheater (RWT) in Rotterdam, as simultaneously a philosopher, empirical researcher, participant, and increasingly colleague and friend.
