This Introduction outlines our understanding of knowledge democracy, which can be expressed by a number of principles: (1) Recognition of a multiplicity of epistemologies and ways of knowing; (2) Openness to assembling, representing and sharing knowledge in multiple forms (including traditional academic formats and all manner of social and arts-based approaches); (3) Recognition that knowledge emerging from the daily lives of excluded persons is an essential tool for social movements and other transformational strategies; and the (4) Requirement to carefully balance the need to protect the ownership of communities' knowledge with the need to share knowledge in a free and open access manner. We are pleased to present five articles from around the world that broaden and deepen our understanding of knowledge democracy from a theoretical perspective, a practice perspective, an ontological perspective, and an action or political perspective.Item Decolonization of knowledge, epistemicide, participatory research, and higher education(UCL Press, 2017) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshThis article raises questions about what the word ‘knowledge’ refers to. Drawn from some 40 years of collaborative work on knowledge democracy, the authors suggest that higher education institutions today are working with a very small part of the extensive and diverse knowledge systems in the world. Following from de Sousa Santos, they illustrate how Western knowledge has been engaged in epistemicide, or the killing of other knowledge systems. Community-based participatory research is about knowledge as an action strategy for change and about the rendering visible of the excluded knowledges of our remarkable planet. Knowledge stories, theoretical dimensions of knowledge democracy and the evolution of community-based participatory research partnerships are highlighted.Item PRIA Logue - Participatory research in Action: Where is the future Part 1 and 2(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2020-10-15) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)Item Advancing environmental health science research and translation in India through community based participatory research (CBPR) workshop February 26th -28th, 2019(2019-02-28) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA); College of Public HealthItem Society for participatory research in Asia(1986) Tandon, RajeshItem Teaching participatory research: Making higher education participatory and relevant(2010) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)he paper argues that inclusion of Participatory Research (PR) in the curricula of institutions of higher education will facilitate its actual practice, thereby contributing to new forms of knowledge production and social change. Participatory Research (PR),as an alternative to dominant social science research methodology and an approach for social change, gained recognition in the 70s. More than three decades later, however, much more is needed for the inclusion of PR in the formal higher education system. This paper highlights the status of PR in institutions of higher education in India; it analyses the viability of its inclusion and presents the challenges it faces across social science disciplines, in degree level courses, as well as in doctoral research. Drawing upon national and international experiences ,the paper explores ways by which higher education institutions in India can include PR in the curriculum and teaching practices .
