dc.descriptionThe paper examines the growing interest in participatory action research (PAR), emphasizing its role in addressing power imbalances in social change initiatives. It critiques the failure of expert-driven models and advocates for a more dialogical, people-centered approach that empowers individuals and communities to take responsibility for their own change. The concept of power and its implications in both traditional and participatory research are explored, alongside practical applications of PAR in social work and community development projects. The cyclical process of action research is presented as a model for ongoing reflection and change.
dc.description.abstractThis document explores the concept of participatory action research (PAR) in the context of political, social, and educational strategies. It discusses the shift from expert-driven approaches to those that empower communities, focusing on the role of knowledge in overcoming social inequality. The paper critiques the challenges of using PAR as a means of both challenging and reinforcing power structures, offering insights into the dialogue between researchers and participants, and the cyclical process of knowledge validation through action and reflection.
