    From action research to knowledge democracy Cartagena 1977-2017
    (Colombian Journal of Sociology (RCS), 2018) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, Rajesh
    What can we learn from the histories of participatory research? In this article, Dr. Budd Hall and Dr. Rajesh Tandon reflect on the historical and political trajectories that shaped participatory action research in its current form. In conversation with pioneers such as Orlando Fals Borda, they situate participatory research within wider struggles for adult education, liberation and democratic knowledge production. Drawing from personal reflections and histories of adult education institutions, Hall and Tandon write about their own journeys into participatory research and the relationships that sustained these practices across continents. The article highlights the need for a non-fragmented methodology of action research, rooted in political praxis and committed to societal transformation. Through the work of Borda, particularly the landmark 1977 Cartagena conference that brought together over 4000 delegates to deliberate on people’s participation, the authors highlight the importance of challenging unequal relations of power and control. In revisiting these histories, the article affirms participatory action research as an ongoing project of epistemic justice and social transformation

    Beyond partnerships: Embracing complexity to understand and improve research collaboration for global development
    (2021) Fransman, Jude; Hall, Budd L; Hayman, Rachel; Narayanan, Pradeep; Newman, Kate; Tandon, Rajesh
    While there is a burgeoning literature on the benefits of research collaboration for development, it tends to promote the idea of the ‘partnership’ as a bounded site in which interventions to improve collaborative practice can be made. This article draws on complexity theory and systems thinking to argue that such an assumption is problematic, divorcing collaboration from wider systems of research and practice. Instead, a systemic framework for understanding and evaluating collaboration is proposed. This framework is used to reflect on a set of principles for fair and equitable research collaboration that emerged from a programme of strategic research and capacity strengthening conducted by the Rethinking Research Collaborative (RRC) for the United Kingdom (UK)’s primary research funder: UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). The article concludes that a systemic conceptualisation of collaboration is more responsive than a ‘partnership’ approach, both to the principles of fairness and equity and also to uncertain futures.

    Should participatory research be taught in a university?
    (Society for Participatory Research In Asia (PRIA), 2003) Tandon, Rajesh
    This excerpt is based on a keynote address delivered by Rajesh Tandon in February 2003, reflecting on whether and how participatory research can be taught. It questions the limits of conventional research, opens up debates on methodology and power, and invites readers to think of knowledge as something shaped through dialogue rather than instruction.
