TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Pragmatic post‐structuralism (I): participant observation and discourse in evaluating violence intervention JO - Journal of community and applied social psychology A1 - O'Neill, Damian A1 - Morgan, Mandy SP - 263 EP - 275 VL - 11 IS - 4 N2 - This paper discusses the process and merits of a post-structuralist approach to participant observation and describes the use of this research strategy in evaluating a community based ‘stopping violence’ programme. While the participant observation research strategy is commonly employed as a ‘process evaluation’ method (Rossi and Freeman, 1993) it's role within a distinctly post-structuralist programme is a novel application of a well-established research strategy. This has significant implications for how social scientists may approach both participant observation and evaluation in the future. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
