The Institute of Development Studies is hosting a participation research week from 20 – 24 September with a series of free events on participatory research methods. This coincides with the publication of the SAGE Handbook of Participatory Research and Inquiry. Read on for more details about the Handbook and to learn more about the upcoming event series.
The SAGE Handbook of Participatory Research and Inquiry is published
The first ever SAGE Handbook of Participatory Research and Inquiry has been published, providing the most comprehensive source of contemporary, cutting-edge participatory research methods and design. It provides the tools for inclusive, action-orientated research and new ways to engage the most marginalised, for students, researchers and activists globally working for social change.
The handbook covers the explosion of new participatory research methods over the past two decades as well as the foundations of participatory research and critical practise issues across 71 chapters, written by an international group of 150 authors from a variety of disciplines. As a resource for how to do inclusive and ethical participatory research and inquiry it applies to a diverse spectrum of social science researchers including from health and social care, development studies, sociology, criminology, education and business, as well as civil society groups.
It is edited by Danny Burns and Jo Howard, both renowned researchers in the field of pioneering participatory methods based at the Institute of Development Studies and Sonia M. Ospina, an expert in qualitative and participatory research from New York University.
Sections covering key aspects of participatory research and inquiry include:
Key influences and foundations of participatory research – drawing from feminism, rural settings and indigenous ways of knowing
Critical issues in the practice of participatory research – including facilitation, ethics and disability inclusion
Methods and tools – dialogic research processes, action-oriented approaches, digital technology use, visual and performative and storytelling, and participatory monitoring and evaluation
Mixing and mashing participatory and other research
