Definition(s)

  • Participatory Action Research (PAR) is a research paradigm within the social sciences which emphasizes collaborative participation of trained researchers as well as local communities in producing knowledge directly relevant to the stakeholder community. The knowledge produced through PAR does not just intend to contribute to the theoretical corpus of the social sciences, but it also inherently contains an agenda of social change.
