    Participatory Research as Critical Theory: The North Bonneville, USA Experience
    (1982-03) Comstock, Donald E.; Fox, Russell
    This paper provides an example and interpretation of participatory research through the experience of a community in North Bonneville, Washington. It discusses four major issues in participatory research: the epistemological basis, the role of popular knowledge, the researcher’s role, and the validation of participatory knowledge. The paper argues that participatory research can be best understood through the lens of critical theory, using it as a method for critiquing social domination. The North Bonneville project demonstrates the potential for participatory research to foster political struggle, democratic organization, and critical learning.
