ABSTRACT
There is little reporting of micro-dynamics in design research, even though it is an acknowledged part of inspiring participation. This paper focuses particularly on the rising research interest in community and social engagement, looking at the scales over which interaction takes place and the relations between these, and arguing for more attention to be given to the way that methods and facilitator interact. It situates this discussion in a wider context of participation, ownership and power, by regarding interventions as both personal and structural.
