    Participatory Research International networking memo, February 1, 1986
    (Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 1986) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)
    This networking memo, issued by Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA) in February 1986, reports on the participatory research working group at the 1985 ICAE World Assembly of Adult Education in Buenos Aires. The group’s 45 participants, from more than 30 countries, discussed the aims and methods of participatory research and agreed that its principles stay common across very different settings. They saw the following years as a period of consolidation, with plans for documenting experience, publishing, building resource centres and exchanging ideas between regions. The memo then gives updates from the networks in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe and North America, and closes with new publications and materials on participatory research.

    Lived realities of women sanitation workers in india insights from a participatory research conducted in three cities of India
    (Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2019-06) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)
    This paper is about the everyday lives of women sanitation workers in Ajmer, Jhansi and Muzaffarpur, drawn from a 2018 participatory study of 206 women conducted under PRIA's Engaged Citizens Responsive City initiative. The paper traces how poverty, caste and gender intersect in the accounts gathered, alongside a fourth thread - the role education, or its absence, plays in keeping these women locked into sanitation work across generations. Interviews, focus group discussions, shadowing exercises and daily logs shaped the research, and the paper stays close to the women's own words rather than smoothing them into policy language. It documents that contractual and outsourced workers earn far less than permanent staff for the same labour, often without safety gear, payslips or basic awareness of laws meant to protect them. It records how discrimination based on touch continues in subtler, everyday forms. The paper closes with recommendations for government bodies and civil society, covering wage parity, grievance redress and community-level steps toward recognition and dignity.

    Teaching participatory research: Making higher education participatory and relevant
    (2010) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)
    The paper argues that inclusion of Participatory Research (PR) in the curricula of institutions of higher education will facilitate its actual practice, thereby contributing to new forms of knowledge production and social change. Participatory Research (PR),as an alternative to dominant social science research methodology and an approach for social change, gained recognition in the 70s. More than three decades later, however, much more is needed for the inclusion of PR in the formal higher education system. This paper highlights the status of PR in institutions of higher education in India; it analyses the viability of its inclusion and presents the challenges it faces across social science disciplines, in degree level courses, as well as in doctoral research. Drawing upon national and international experiences ,the paper explores ways by which higher education institutions in India can include PR in the curriculum and teaching practices .
