Abstract
Within new paradigm research, collaborative inquiry (CI) is used as an umbrella term to encompass genres of research that are participatory, democratic and reflective in design, method and dissemination. The principles embedded in participatory methodologies emphasise inclusive participation within a mutually beneficial research project where deep interpretive processes occur and members co-construct knowledge. At the heart of CI is a call for research to be a catalyst for action and, therefore, for change.
