Join the editors of the first ever SAGE Handbook of Participatory Research and Inquiry that provides the most comprehensive source of contemporary, cutting-edge approaches to participatory research methods and design, as well as the foundations of participatory research and critical practice issues.
Watch now
From climate change to extreme poverty or social exclusion, participatory processes are vital to help better understand complex challenges, build solidarity and effect change. The new SAGE Handbook of Participatory Research and Inquiry explores further why participatory methods are needed, who they benefit and the real-world contexts they can apply to.
This will be a key moment in bringing together the participatory research community whose work over the past 20 years has contributed to this critical mass of knowledge, with the next generation of participatory researchers who want to carry the torch for this growing movement.
Including 71 chapters by 150 authors from a wide variety of disciplines the handbook covers the tools for inclusive, action-orientated research for social change and new ways for researchers and social activists globally to engage the most marginalised.
This is the first event in our Participation Research Week series of events from running from 20 to 24 September.
