Introduction.
Participatory Action Research or“PAR”isawayofcollectinginformation that honors, centers,and reflects the experiences of people mostdirectly affected by issues in our communities. PAR is not so much a set of procedures to follow to gather information as it is a philosophy and approach to gathering and using information. Itis also a way to build and strengthen communities and our understandings ofourselves, each other, and our relationships. It can be a powerful outreach, basebuilding andorganizing tool to help bring people together to build movements for change.
The "research" aspects of PAR attempt to avoid the traditional “extractive” research carried out by universities and governments where “experts” go to a community, study their subjects, and take away their data to write their papers, reports and theses. Research in PAR is ideally BY the local people and FOR the local people. Research is designed to address specific issues identified by local people, and the results are directly applied to the problems at hand. Thecase studyis often used as a research method as part of PAR.
