Abstract
I remember many years ago talking with Richard Winter in a coffee shop in Oxford. He has used action research for years. I asked him if he ever got fed up with the struggle to justify the type of research methodology he uses. He said no. He felt that if he didn’t have to continuously justify, then it would mean that the methodology had become mainstream and was no longer pushing the boundaries of accepted practice or challenging the status quo.
