Abstract:

This paper highlights the confusion around the term ‘participatory research’ and the impact this may have on practice. It discusses some of the challenges of getting this type of research funded and reviewed, when it is so different to other approaches and cannot be judged by the same standards of ‘objectivity’. The author argues that the rationale and benefits of participatory research need to be more clearly defined, so that this approach can be embedded into research environments, funding schemes and administration in way that reflects its true nature and purpose.
