Description
Summary:© 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited. Purpose: 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. Design/methodology/approach: The paper draws on the frameworks for PAR conducted as a community development project with rural Thai communities. Findings: The paper reviews the use of a PAR approach as a culturally responsive approach and presents an experience of culturally situated research practice. Originality/value: 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.
