UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:142828636 AB - This volume introduces a method that is ideal for researchers who are committed to co-developing research programmes with people rather than for people. The book provides a history of this technique, its various strands, and the underlying tenets that guide most projects. It then draws on two PAR projects that highlight three integral dimensions: the meaning of participation; the way action manifests itself; and the strategies for gathering, analyzing, and disseminating information.
