Description

Participatory Community Research addresses the gap between scientific knowledge and the practice of community based research methods.

Unlike the traditional approaches to research in which researchers generate the ideas for projects, define the methods, and interpret the outcomes, the approaches of participatory research empower community populations to shape the research agenda.

Their participation often results in generating greater sociopolitical awareness and affecting large systemic change in the community.

In this volume, leading community psychologists and practitioners discuss recent theoretical advances and innovative methods in the field.
