概要	Embedded transformative mixed methods is a research design that nests one type of data (quantitative or qualitative) inside a dominant dataset of the other type, with both strands guided by an overarching transformative framework — such as feminist, disability rights, or social justice theory. The design serves research questions where statistical breadth and in-depth qualitative insight must both speak directly to equity, empowerment, or systemic change goals.	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.
