Transition: a force in the Great Turning?
A PhD Thesis by Clare Power
Abstract:
My over-arching research question considers the ways in which Transition is a force in the Great Turning. In particular, I consider the extent to which Transition is replicating existing paradigms and structures or challenging and re-imagining them; whether Transition is engaged in transformation or whether it is ultimately reformist as it sets up a potentially radical alternative to the dominant paradigm. These questions frame the fieldwork which is located in Australia, and includes a focus on Inner Transition. I conducted 30 interviews with active Transition participants, and representatives from 32 Transition Initiatives completed a qualitative survey. The semi-structured interview questions and open-ended survey questions were designed to elicit the participants’ reflections on their lived experiences of Transition. My analysis, using feminist methodologies, is thematic and emergent.
