Abstract
This document announces the Asian Regional Forum on Participatory Research, organized by the Society for Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), inviting grassroots activists and researchers to share their experiences with participatory research in various social contexts. The forum focuses on theoretical and practical aspects of PR, including its process, role in policy influence, integration of theory and practice, and the involvement of marginalized groups. It calls for descriptive case studies and theoretical papers to address key questions related to participatory research.
Description
The Asian Regional Forum on Participatory Research seeks to highlight experiences from different grassroots contexts, including urban slum dwellers, industrial workers, women, landless rural laborers, minorities, and tribals. The forum aims to address critical issues in participatory research, such as its theory, process, outcomes, and influence on policy-making. It also explores how popular knowledge, control, and access to information are managed in PR. The document includes a call for papers, requesting both descriptive case studies and theoretical papers on the topics discussed in the forum. Papers are to be submitted by June 30, 1983, to the Regional Coordinator at PRIA.
