Scholarly Dialogues and Participatory Action Research

This paper addresses two issues that are pertinent to the papers in the special issue on Participatory Action Research. The first is the conceptual contributions of the papers. The more explicit these contributions the more dialogue they enable with researchers beyond the action research tradition. The second is the extent to which intervention participants have a say in the scholarly presentations of the interventions. The greater the scholarly dialogue between action researchers and participants the more complete the description of the interventions.
