Participatory Discourse Analysis

Participatory Discourse Analysis (PDA) integrates the collaborative ethos of participatory action research with the language-focused lens of discourse analysis. Community members or research participants are not merely sources of data — they are co-analysts who help collect, interpret, and act on discourse. PDA is used to uncover how language constructs power relations, identities, and social practices within marginalized or under-researched communities, and to translate those findings into concrete change.
