This exciting new book is both practical and theoretical. It is a
pioneering work of integrated praxis, situating theory within a
participatory worldview and grounding practice in the important
issues of our times - social justice and sustainability. Ledwith
and Springett's ideas are founded on two premises. Firstly,
transformative practice begins in the stories of people's everyday
lives, and practical theory generated from these narratives is the
best way to inform both policy and practice. This innovative
approach bridges the divide between ideas and practice, and allows
the development of the knowledge needed to bring about
transformative social change. Secondly, participatory approaches to
practice allow practitioners not only to critically examine the
world, but also to reflect on the way in which they view the world
in order to situate their local practice more relevantly within
bigger social issues. Participatory practice is structured in an
unfolding and engaging way. It is divided into two major sections:
the first, 'A Participatory Paradigm', considers theory in relation
to current times, and the second, 'Participatory Practice',
develops skills related to this thinking. The book will be of
interest to both academics and community-based practitioners.
