dc.descriptionThis paper was largely influenced by discussions held at the African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research in Tanzania, 1979, and presents a critical analysis of research methodologies, the role of the researcher, and the potential of participatory research in facilitating progressive social change.
dc.description.abstractThis paper examines the complexities and controversies surrounding the methodology of participatory research, highlighting key debates within social science research. It discusses the critiques of conventional positivist methodologies and contrasts them with the methodological underpinnings of participatory research, particularly its pragmatic and historical materialist approaches. Kassam explores the limitations, ideological orientations, and theoretical foundations of participatory research, advocating for an approach that emphasizes active community involvement, dialogue, and social change.
