Dear friends and colleagues,

Join our excellent colleagues at the Institute of Development Studies for a Participatory Research Week with 5 free events next week (20-24 Sept).
The events explore why participatory methods are needed, who they benefit and the real-world contexts they can apply to.

The events feature the editors, section editors and authors as they discuss the themes in the recent published  SAGE Handbook of Participatory Research and Inquiry.
