Item Land and people No. 3, July-September 1988(1988) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)Item Revitalizing the teaching of participatory research in social sciences(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2005-03) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)At a time when social sciences are increasingly called to address questions of poverty, exclusion, and inequality, their teaching practices still remain bound by conventional methods. This synthesis report reflects on more than a decade of PRIA’s collaborations with universities and schools of social work, tracing efforts to bring participatory research into classrooms and curricula. It highlights how, despite growing recognition among practitioners, PR often struggles for legitimacy within academia, frequently reduced to technical tools rather than embraced as an approach to social transformation. Through mapping exercises, dialogues, and partnerships, the report uncovers both the obstacles and the emerging possibilities for revitalizing teaching in this field. In doing so, it positions participatory research not only as a method, but as a means of reimagining the purpose of social science itself.Item Citizen's report on water supply, sanitation and solid waste management in selected small and medium towns in India(Society for Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2008-12) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)"In many small and medium towns of India, the most basic urban services like water supply, sanitation, and waste management remain inadequate despite constitutional provisions assigning these responsibilities to municipalities. This citizens’ report, prepared by PRIA and local partners, presents the findings of participatory research conducted across eight towns in five states, where over 3,000 households and community leaders were engaged in documenting their experiences. By drawing attention to everyday struggles of access, affordability, and accountability, the report highlights both the gaps in service delivery and the possibilities that emerge when citizens actively monitor and communicate with municipalities. Rather than offering ready-made solutions, it positions citizen-led inquiry as a way of reshaping urban governance and opening space for more responsive institutions.Item Participatory Research International networking memo, March 15, 1985(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 1985-03-15) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)
