Abstract
This work explores the epistemological framework of participatory research (PR) within the socio-historical context of Asia. It delves into how knowledge production and distribution have been shaped by power dynamics, structural controls, and thematic content. Highlighting lessons from history, the author critiques conventional research methodologies and argues for a holistic vision of PR, emphasizing the importance of community knowledge systems.
