Mihaela Kelemen
Nottingham University Business School, UK

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 market-
place exclusion, food poverty, rural health, volunteering, artisanal mining,
sustainability and post disaster reconstruction. Her projects put centre
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:
Building resilience through creative methodologies of research and engagement
with fringe stakeholders in times of crisis

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’.
