Abstract
In the past few decades, we have seen a surge of work within the paradigm of participatory research (PR). The results have not only raised challenges to the practices of positivist science but have also led to many questions about the construction and use of knowledge and the importance of power relations that permeate the research process. More importantly, this work has brought to light new ideas about the roles of researchers in engaging with communities and local people and the capacity of the two partners to make society more just and equitable.
