Method evidence record

Participatory Biographical Research

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.
