| Abstract | |
In the face of post-normal problems, uncertainties must become central to developing legitimate quality control in engaging social actors through the extended peer communities. However, it is necessary to recognize the constraints of legitimate participation as well as the emergent misinformation crisis in digital social media. This essay explores the relevance of the shared dialogue of participatory research approaches in processes of integrating uncertainties in quality assurance of scientific production and related decision-making. It also discusses the importance of participation in overcoming cognitive exclusion and promotes reflections on the emergent barriers associated with the infodemic in the context of the COVID-19 crisis. Some characteristics of participatory research approaches are highlighted, such as multi-level dialogical interactions involving different social actors, empowerment of marginalized people, and mitigation of inequities through transforming the conventional unilateral relationship between science and society into a more fair and more symmetrical process. The adaptive properties of participatory approaches can help overcome cognitive exclusion and contribute against the anti-dialogical ruptures of the infodemic, contributing to integrating uncertainties. Participatory approaches can be conceived as a methodological asset to boost extended peer communities. Their dialogical attributes can promote a diversity of solutions and knowledges and stimulate self-reflection among academics. (AU) | |
