Abstract

Scholarly research, advanced teaching materials, and trained instructors are needed to bridge the gap between university teaching and the actual practice of participatory action research (PAR). Project outputs include scholarly publications as well as capacity building activities which reached more than 1,000 researchers, and firmly established Social Analysis Systems (SAS2) teaching and training resources in Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Bolivia, Peru, Chile, Honduras and Canada. SAS2 tools and methods were introduced also to research and development communities in Bhutan, France, West Africa and North Africa in order to address issues in the creation and mobilization of knowledge in the social sciences.
