In this episode of AR+ Yes/And podcast, Felix (Skip) Bivens interviews Victor Friedman and Maryann Broxton, both of whom served as editors for the recent special issue of the Action Research Journal entitled 'Action Research for Transforming the Poverty Field.' Their backgrounds are intentionally dichotomous: Victor a life-long action researcher and academic, and Maryann an activist for ATD Fourth World, an international organization working directly with people experiencing poverty.

The interview discusses intensively the development process behind of the special issue, and along the way, delves deeply into the tensions inherent in the social construction of knowledge.
