dc.descriptionThis reflection by a Pakeha researcher explores the growth and challenges of participatory research in Aotearoa. It highlights feminist contributions to methodology and the political potential of community-based action. The author emphasizes the role of local problem-definition and ownership in effective research. Amid social tensions and crises, participatory methods offer a path toward grassroots empowerment and resilience.
dc.description.abstractThis is written from the perspective of a pakeha (white) participatory researcher in the Political Science Department of the University of Canterbury. Participatory research is not well established in Aotearoa (New Zealand), but there are precedents, and there are some current examples of work which incorporates some of the elements of participatory research.. I am pleased to record my reflections on attempts I have made, because the process has been valuable in both the Aotearoa context, and in terms of my international contact. I shall describe how I got involved in participatory research, and discuss where I have found the real problems to be. Included also is a personal view of some wider issues in Aotearoa which have implications for social action.
