- Description
- Participatory action research aims to reduce power differentials in research. In this chapter we problematise the blurred boundaries when a participant becomes a researcher. We re-flect on a PhD undertaken by the first author who was a mem-ber of a social enterprise in the UK that provided user-led re-search and training with a diversity of communities. Experienc-es of ten members of the collective were gathered through creative arts-based methodologies designed to be inclusive. We describe three tensions that arose when trialling participa-tory video production, when data analysis could not be under-taken collaboratively, and when reflecting on the solitary nature of PhD thesis writing. We outline the ways these tensions were worked through and explore ways of writing about participatory research in a PhD thesis.
