dc.descriptionThis text critiques traditional Western-centric research in development projects and highlights the emergence of participatory research as an alternative rooted in equity, collaboration, and local knowledge. It argues that genuine participation demands rethinking the nature of research and science itself. Emphasizing thinkers like Freire, the passage advocates for reflexive, long-term, and inclusive research practices that acknowledge both subjectivity and objectivity. Participatory research is framed not as a quick fix but as a deep, ethical commitment to co-creating knowledge.
