A lesson in history, along with explorations of its contemporary manifestations, spotlights the relevance of community-based, participatory research in a post-pandemic world. The symposium will explore the following questions:

• Why is it important for researchers to make research relevant to and for the people? We will learn from the experience of the 'elders' and pioneers of Participatory Research.

• What strategies, with leadership from the Global South, are required to re-energise similar and different others to overcome a tired-ness/co-option of using Participatory Research, and to build capacities to use research for social transformation?
