The workshop with 5-minute presentations from researchers using participatory methodologies in different contexts, including IHSS Visiting Fellow Dr Venâncio Ramos.

Join a half-day workshop to explore experiences, challenges and theoretical possibilities emerging from the use of participatory research methodologies. The workshop will draw on the work of researchers applying PAR (participatory action research) and other participatory methodologies in diverse, interdisciplinary and global research projects. We will share and explore different understandings and traditions of participatory research across geographic contexts, the practicalities of designing and undertaking participatory projects and the challenges (and joys!) of building and maintaining relationships for this work. We will also examine the ways in which participatory methodologies can help shape knowledge production and influence activist agendas within and beyond academia.  
The workshop will begin with short (5 minute) presentations from researchers using participatory methodologies in different contexts, including IHSS Visiting Fellow Dr Venâncio Ramos, who will speak about his experiences using participatory methodologies with agrarian social movements and indigenous, quilombola and small farming communities in the Southern Brazilian Amazon. This will be followed by small group work, sharing and discussion on the themes above.
Tea, coffee and cakes provided! 
The workshop is free to join by please register via the form.
