সারসংক্ষেপ	Participatory Biographical Research (PBR) combines the in-depth life-story tradition of biographical methods with the collaborative ethos of participatory inquiry. Participants are not merely sources of data; they are active co-researchers who help design questions, interpret their own narratives, and validate emerging findings. The result is a richly layered account of individual lives that is jointly owned by both researcher and participant.	Participatory Action Research (PAR) is a qualitative, community-centred methodology in which researchers and community members collaborate as co-investigators to identify a shared problem, take deliberate action, observe outcomes, and reflect critically on results — cycling iteratively until meaningful change is achieved. Unlike conventional research that studies people from the outside, PAR treats participants as active agents who co-own the research process, the knowledge produced, and the practical interventions that follow.
