Action Research Issues Association

The Action Research Issues Association is a group of 35 dedicated community members who have been meeting for 30 years to promote and resource the development of participative action research methods by those wanting to inquire into their own issues, puzzles and better futures to overcome situations identified by them as a result of disadvantage, discrimination or disability, and to achieve situations identified by them as desirable. It has published a sequel to its best-selling Do It Yourself Social Research and Everyday Evaluation on the Run, based on 30 years of its work with groups, consumers and service-providers entitled Building in Research and Evaluation: Human Inquiry for Living Systems (2011).
