Peer research is increasingly used in international academic,
policy and practice environments. It engages members of a group or
social network as trusted members of a research team working in
communities and settings they are familiar with. Critics, however,
point to methodological concerns with peer research. These include
the extent to which peer researchers genuinely represent the
populations under study; data confidentiality; the emotional burden
of enquiring into sensitive issues peers may experience in their
own lives; and the reliability and credibility of data collected by
people who do not have academic training. The book seeks to counter
the marginalisation of research experience and skills derived from
close relationships with people and communities, while reflecting
critically on the strengths and limitations of peer research.
Chapters by a wide range of international contributors illustrate
the potential of peer research to facilitate an in-depth
understanding of health and social development issues and enhance
policy and practice. This interdisciplinary book provides students
and professionals working in health, social science and development
studies with a thorough grounding in this new style of research. It
will appeal to those interested in research and evaluation; sexual
health and public health; mental health, disability and social
care; gender and sexuality; conservation and environmental
management; migration and citizenship studies; humanitarian issues;
and international development.
