Reimagining recovery narratives following adversity
Methodology
Participatory Action Research (PAR) is an approach which is always in a state of becoming. PAR shifts our understanding and approach in how we do learning recognising and valuing relationships and co-constructed knowledges (Kindon et al. (2007)) . This research utilised a Feminist PAR approach. There are several shared values between PAR and Feminist PAR, particularly regarding emancipation, political activism, and collaborating a diversity of voices and knowledge (Gatenby & Humphries, 2000).
Feminist PAR
The subtle difference between PAR and feminist PAR values is how the feminist viewpoints shape the perspectives of PAR. For example, Gatenby and Humphries (2000) discuss how typical approaches to PAR have been founded on gender inequality in society. Engaging a feminist approach brings a set of values recognising the ‘other’ (Fine, 1994). Moreover it acknowledges research is not neutral (Reinharz, 1992).
Incorporating the values of the feminist Post-Qualitative perspectives through a PAR framework enabled the project to move from exploring what has happened, to a working with an ever-changing processual model (Sargento, 2013).
Engaging these perspectives help recovery narratives to extend and for new possibilities or alternative ways recovery could be understood and practised.
