Local identities and global citizenship: A message from Catania and challenges for universities(2015-11-04) Hall, Budd LIn a world facing growing inequality, conflict, and environmental strain, the Sixth Big Tent Communiqué reflects on what role universities can play in responding to these challenges. It sees higher education as more than classrooms and research, calling for closer ties with communities and a stronger sense of responsibility to society. The communiqué raises questions about how universities can support young people, create knowledge that connects rather than divides, and rebuild trust in uncertain times. Instead of final answers, it leaves open the possibility that the future of universities will depend on how far they are willing to rethink their purpose.Item Linkage between participatory research, participatory evaluation and participatory training(1983-05-05)As participatory approaches gained ground in the early 1980s, questions emerged about how research, evaluation, and training might intersect in practice. This paper explores the close relationship between these three processes, showing how they often overlap and evolve within the same project rather than remaining separate domains. Through discussions of field experiences, it reflects on the complexity of roles that facilitators, educators, and community members assume, and the tensions that arise in balancing activism, research, and organizational structures. The study also considers the possibilities of applying participatory methods to diverse fields such as primary education, forestry, and women’s empowerment, while highlighting the constraints of time, resources, and institutional support. Instead of drawing final conclusions, it leaves the reader with open questions about how participatory practice can expand its reach while staying true to its empowering intent.Item Participatory Research International networking memo, August 1, 1987(1987-08-01) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)Item Should participatory research be taught in a university?(Society for Participatory Research In Asia (PRIA), 2003) Tandon, RajeshThis excerpt is based on a keynote address delivered by Rajesh Tandon in February 2003, reflecting on whether and how participatory research can be taught. It questions the limits of conventional research, opens up debates on methodology and power, and invites readers to think of knowledge as something shaped through dialogue rather than instruction.Item Notes on participatory research methodology for forest studies(1982-09) Tandon, RajeshThis document outlines a participatory research framework for studying the impact of forest legislation on forest-dwelling communities in India. It emphasizes involving local activists and residents directly in data collection, analysis, and reporting so that research becomes both documentation and a tool for mobilization.Item Participatory research for people's empowerment(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 1999) Prasad, B. Devi; Rao, K. VisweswaraItem Participatory Evaluation and Research: Main Concepts and Issues(Indian Social Institute, 1981) Tandon, RajeshFrom the days in the 1930s when the University of Bombay first introduced a post-graduate course in sociology, to our days, there has been a gradual change to the professionalization of the social sciences. With professionalization came specialisation and its acceptance as a science that can be considered objective by creating a distance between the researcher and the 'object' of study i.e., the people studied—actors in the social setting.
