title: The subjective-objective rhythm of research.
abstract: Cowling and Shattell share their thoughts on participatory inquiry within a worldview that presents reality as a co-creative process that recognizes a multiplicity of ways of knowing. They present the five dimensions of a participatory worldview as it informs the emergence of story in the research process. They conclude their column with examples from their own work, Cowling's on women survivors of child abuse, Shattell's on Latino mental health.
