Mihaela Kelemen
Mihaela Kelemen

Mihaela Kelemen is Chair in Business and Society at Nottingham University Business School, UK. Prior to joining Nottingham University, she has taught and researched at Keele University, UK for 23 years, as Professor of Management and Public Engagement (since 2006) and as Director of its Community Animation and Social Innovation Centre (CASIC).
She holds doctoral degrees from Oxford University and the Academy of Economic Studies, Bucharest. Her research employs participatory creative methodologies of stakeholder engagement and knowledge co-production to explore a wide range of business and society topics such as marketplace exclusion, food poverty, rural health, volunteering, artisanal mining, sustainability and post disaster reconstruction. Her projects put center stage the experiences and aspirations of various fringe stakeholders from the UK, Japan, the Philippines and Kenya. Findings have been disseminated not only via academic publications but also through documentary dramas, virtual games, digital toolkits and community based exhibitions curated jointly with the award-winning New Vic Borderlines. She is a member of the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships Peer Review College and of the AHRC Peer Review College.

Keynote presentation

Creative methodologies of knowledge co-production and stakeholder engagement provide rich insights into how marginalised individuals and groups cope with various types of crises and build resilience. My recent research projects document grassroots forms of resilience building, covering a broad range of topics such as disaster recovery, food poverty, market place exclusion, health inequalities and vulnerable workers in conflict affected areas. Working in partnership with the New Vic Theatre from Staffordshire UK, I developed an arts-based methodology of knowledge coproduction and community engagement entitled ‘Cultural Animation’ (Kelemen, Surman and Dikomits, 2018) which has been used in the UK, Japan, Kenya, Greece, the Philippines and Canada. This creative and participatory methodology encourages and values a multitude of ‘ways of knowing’
and expression, and creates a trusting environment in which hierarchies are dissolved and marginalised voices can be heard. Prior to the pandemic, the methodology was embodied and the digital played only a secondary role, typically in communicating the research findings (as can be seen in the co-design of a virtual community game about health and the co-creation of electroacoustic musical documentaries about food poverty in the UK). The COVID pandemic represented a challenge for conducting embodied participatory research as well as an opportunity to find new ways to connect with participants at a distance, in the same spirit of mutual respect and inclusivity. As part of a Global Challenge Research Fund Project entitled: ‘I am my dignity’: Women’s rights in fragile contexts (https://mcatnottingham.org/), we created a Cultural Animation digital app and training package that gives developmental actors, including businesses, based in Mindanao, Philippines, the opportunity to engage with and give voice and agency to vulnerable women from this area. This online platform ensured the scaling up of Cultural Animation by providing effective digital tools for fringe stakeholder engagement and for the co-production of knowledge with some of the most marginalised individuals in the world, which can be adapted and adopted more widely by both researchers and community ‘engagers’.
