Opis

Drawing on in-depth case studies, this book examines the nature of participatory research in the social sciences and its role in increasing research participation among vulnerable or marginalized populations. In so doing, Participatory Research details how inclusion and collaboration can be enhanced among vulnerable research participants such as those with profound learning difficulties, victims of abuse and trauma, and children and young people and shows how useful the approach can be with these groups. Also exploring important ethical issues and challenges associated with participatory research, this book will be an invaluable resource for an international audience of students, researchers, and academics seeking to put participatory research methods into practice."
