Barbara Adlerova talks about the figure of the 'parachuting researcher', who drops in and out of research, and the challenges this presents for participatory researchers.

Alice Taherzadeh began building relationships, prior to the formal start of her PhD, to overcome initial distrust.

Reflecting on ethical implications involved in leaving a research community. Practical, emotional dilemmas faced when leaving. How to find closure? What personal, relational & institutional strategies might support participatory researchers and communities? #participatoryresearch

Jake Sallaway found it impossible to leave on an emotional level. Felt the research had created dependency.

Jake also raises an important point of having appropriate institutional support. What happens when things go wrong? Jess Langston observed that it seemed to fall to women - supervisors, colleagues to undertake emotional labour. #participatoryresearch
