Implementing PAR in a Thai community development context: Engaging a culturally responsive approach Available to Purchase

The purpose of this paper is to present an account of a PAR project in a Thai community and to discuss the methodological implications of implementing a culturally responsive approach.

The paper draws on the frameworks for PAR conducted as a community development project with rural Thai communities.

The paper reviews the use of a PAR approach as a culturally responsive approach and presents an experience of culturally situated research practice.

This paper encourages researchers conducting participatory inquiry to engage in deeper critical reflection on the implications of these methods in keeping with PAR's critical ontological, epistemological and axiological orientation.
