Abstract

Participatory research (PR) is sometimes difficult and risky, but there is a paucity of opportunities—and some reluctance—to reflect on its challenging aspects. In this article, we present subjective accounts of our everyday experiences of conducting PR as women researchers. We focus on four themes from our combined research experiences to explore some of the frustrations we encounter in PR. We argue that it is crucial to identify, reflect upon and address such aspects in academic outputs to broaden debates and scholarly discussions. We offer these reflections, and related strategies, as a contribution to critical debates on PR practice.
