Participatory research involves working with community members to co-design and co-implement research projects, allowing for community voices and experiences to be central to the research process. This approach aligns with the researcher's goal of empowering the community to conduct their own research and develop political power, rather than just collecting data through interviews or surveys. Fieldwork may also be involved in participatory research, but is not a research method in and of itself.
