At the end of May, I had the chance to give my first talk , "How to Study the Impact of a Museum: The Case of the MfN," at the FB3 #KnowledgeLab at the #MuseumFürNaturkunde Berlin. My talk focused on three key points about #impact: 1️⃣ How do we think about the transformative a.k.a. political change in the museums? How do we imagine the future change? To what extent are we able to anticipate the path to this change? 2️⃣ What are the conceptual frameworks underlying the current participatory research practices and impact thinking? How are they applied in practice? I focused specifically on the #TheoryOfChange, but there are other tools, including #ParticipatoryActionResearch and #DesignThinking 3️⃣ The diversity of how different projects understand and practice participation, which is reflected in the scholarship, is often due to the discrepancy between the big goals of the projects and the technicalities and mechanics of evaluation techniques. Here are my personal takeaways 💡 💡 💡 : 💠 We need to further refine our analytical imagination and tools about impact as operating at the different levels: the level of activity, the level of institution, the level of society. 💠 We need more in-depth conversations between participation researchers and practitioners to better understand each other's languages, and to identify gaps, where research could highlight boundaries and barriers to productive collaboration and change. 💠 Importantly, this does not mean that we need to agree on methodologies or tools, but rather that we have a chance to develop a conceptual conversation about change. Thank you for the great discussion! Konstantin S. Kiprijanov, Christian Reichel, Sophie Ehrmanntraut, Sabrina Kirschke, Dr Ana I. Faustino, Mhairi Stewart, Victoria Shennan
