Write a reflect on how you would implement your best practice guide at different levels of action. Since we are a research institute, I want you to reflect on how universities and action-oriented (aka participatory action research) play into sustainable transitions. In your reflection, please construct a response to each of the questions.
1. STAKEHOLDERS. For your sustainable practice that you highlighted in your last assignment, who are the stakeholders that would be involved in the transition (i.e., government, business, non-profit organizations, society at large and media). What conflicts would you expect would arise during the transition phase. Use an example, like a case study, to illustrate the conflict between the groups.
2. KNOWLEDGE. What are the potential knowledge gaps present within each group and what kinds of knowledge and actions would be appropriate for each group (study Table 2 in Caniglia et al 2020)? What strategic approach would you use to use to not only educatet but move your stakeholders to action (in the context of your sustainable practice?) Mann and Smith (2011) is focused on collaborative methods.
3. EQUITABLE TRANSITIONS. How would you ensure that equity is incorporated into the implementation of your sustainable practice? Is there currently an equity issue and what issue might arise from full implementation of your best practice? (Hint: Winkler (2020) article focuses on exactly this question).
Below is a some recent literature to peruse. In your reflection, please use at least one of these for your three references, but you are welcome to use all of them.

Reflection #3 Rubric (50 points)
In this reflection, please break your essay into three sections with headers with an introduction and a conclusion. Title the essay with a descriptive title (5 points). For each section respond to the prompt with roughly a page or so (minimum 3, maximum 4…) (30 points for content). You will need at least five peer-reviewed references (I provided 7, but please do look for specific articles related to your practice). I suspect you may need more references to write your essay. You need to get in the habit of referencing everything that needs referencing even for those NON-peer reviewed items (10 points). I have shared a collection of relatively recent articles, but please do add one or two of your own. The remaining five points are assigned for overall quality and grammar/editorial issues. Upload your paper to the turn-it-in link. Remember to actually LOOK at your turn-it-in report to see where you might still have issues and you can resubmit your assignment after rewrites. Remember we have an EXCELLENT writing center and they love helping students improve their writing and can help you if you get a high score. Writing is a skill that is crucial in a graduate program and also one that students need the most help.
