Participatory Narrative Research/Evidence
Method evidence record

Participatory Narrative Research

Participatory Narrative Research (PNR), often operationalized as Participatory Narrative Inquiry (PNI), is a qualitative research design in which community members or stakeholders collect, share, and collectively interpret their own stories to understand complex social phenomena. Unlike researcher-driven narrative approaches, PNR places participants at the center of data collection, analysis, and sense-making, generating actionable insights grounded in lived community experience.
