In this article, we adopt a critical stance as a guide for our empirical investigation. Our aim is to propose a financial education framework, tailored to low-income micro-entrepreneurs, that embraces new information and communication technologies (ICTs) and seeks to improve financial inclusion and social emancipation. This empirical study was conducted in an Amazonian municipality in Brazil where recent access to ICTs has brought about important and varied socioeconomic changes. Results show that ICT-supported and tailored critical financial education can play a dual role: on the one hand, access to financial education might decrease the effects of generative mechanisms on global/local tensions, triggered by standardized ICT applications; on the other hand, such access might increase financial inclusion and social transformation through the integration of guiding principles into financial education programs.

The methodological piece was a result of a challenge imposed by my doctoral committee for my thesis proposal defense two years prior, who invited me to 'rigorously' sustain the quality of a qualitative research project conducted under the premises of critical-interpretivism. This challenge indeed was a gift, as it provided me an opportunity, very early in my academic career, to deeply reflect about the meaning of doing qualitative research. Now, around fifteen years later, the invitation to write a thinkbox again represents a timely opportunity, as I found myself again reflecting. .. not on the dilemmas of doing nonmainstream qualitative research, but on the researcher's role itself. More precisely, I am seriously thinking about the role of distance and engagement to the value of the knowledge we produce with our academic work. In this essay, I redraw this entire journey-from 2004 to 2018-with the intent to nourish the dialog with my peers about the engagement of the academic community with transforming society for the better, and to provide some guidelines to doctoral students seeking to truly engage with transformational research.

I describe and analyse the theoretical articulations adopted to make sense of strategy using a structurationist view. I found that, instead of being applied as the sole theoretical foundation, Giddens' propositions have been incorporated into other perspectives, the effects of which should be known by researchers looking for theoretical frameworks that avoid dichotomist thinking. The paper draws on the effects that structurationist arguments may produce regarding classical oppositions such as micro/macro and voluntarist/determinist. Its main contribution is to show how theoretical complementarities using structuration theory are promising avenues of research in the strategic management field. It also suggests that, although other alternatives of avoiding dichotomist logic exist, making a choice among them is more a question of ontological affinity than of making the 'better choice' among competing accounts. There are several routes to advance the understanding of the possibilities of human choice.

Could a more holistic, integrated view of both financial inclusion and the role of ICT (information and communication technology) bring a different result? This case was primarily designed to be used in graduate classes dealing with the intersection of two broad areas: ICT4D (information and communication technology for development) and social inclusion.

Circus arts education for social purposes: Crescer & Viver (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and inclusion through performing arts

Looking at the case of Crescer & Viver, which works in Rio de Janeiro’s disadvantaged neighbourhoods, the authors attempt to better understand the function of a “social circus”. Their findings highlight the role played by workshops, activities and performances as well as the implementation of democratic principles in strengthening or establishing social ties among participants, their communities and the rest of Brazilian society. The dynamic analysis of social capital, mobilised by the activities offered by the social circus, is central in the authors’ analytical framework.

Dislocating peripheries to the center: A tecnologia social reinventing repertoires and territories
Organization
Although social innovation has gained increasing importance in recent decades due to its promise ... more Although social innovation has gained increasing importance in recent decades due to its promise of promoting social change, critical scholars have identified a number of gray areas, notably numerous perspectives that fail to deeply question the conditions that maintain social inequalities and exclusion, and that are marked by the absence of the voices of those living in the so-called “peripheries.” Through the example of The Agency, we propose an alternative to hegemonic ways of understanding social innovation, one based on the Latin American concept of tecnologia social, which embodies a decolonial view. We make three contributions to the social innovation literature, thereby enriching the North-South debate. First, we illustrate a process of sociotechnical reconfiguration—an interplay of methodological tools, artifacts and discourses—which is central to the conception and implementation of a tecnologia social. Second, we show how a tecnologia social operates through a cumulative ...
eParticipation and the policy cycle

This reflection was supported by a bibliographic study and analysis of the research conducted on eParticipation over the last 10 years. Based on this analysis, we found that although previous studies indicate the need to investigate the citizenry's potential to contribute to the formulation of public policies, few have included the public policy cycle in the context of eParticipation. It has also not yet been explained how the use of platforms changes or transforms the public policy process. There are few developed theories in the field of eParticipation. Thus, given the lack of depth in the literature on this topic and the possibility for achieving empowerment levels and more inclusive levels of participation, there are gaps to be considered in this context. A research agenda is suggested to address these outstanding questions.
