dc.descriptionThis document provides an in-depth exploration of Participatory Research (PR), tracing its emergence as a response to the inadequacies of traditional social science research paradigms and the exploitation perpetuated through knowledge asymmetry. It underscores PR's dual focus on critiquing classical research models and fostering grassroots empowerment. The paper further outlines societal dynamics, mechanisms of oppression, and the role of knowledge in power structures, advocating for PR's role in achieving equitable development and social justice.
dc.description.abstractThe paper examines the evolution and significance of Participatory Research (PR) as an alternative research paradigm in social sciences. It highlights the limitations of the classical research paradigm and the rise of PR due to dissatisfaction among professional researchers and the failures of conventional developmental efforts. Emphasizing PR’s ideological underpinnings, the author explores its dual motives: challenging the dominant research frameworks and empowering marginalized communities through knowledge. The discussion is framed within a theory of society, addressing the dynamics between the 'haves' and 'have-nots' and the transformative potential of PR in redistributing knowledge as a form of power.
