ABSTRACT
Some will argue that planning research has paid insufficient attention to a broader range of themes, including those related to feminism, indigenous and postcolonial approaches to planning/planning knowledge, political ecology, and other critical perspectives. They assert that traditional and mainstream topics dominate the planning academy and profession. I agree. An objective of this volume was to step back and consider the “research about research.” With reflection and evaluation being vital elements of planning process, where do they come into play with respect to scholarly practice?
