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, Desmond A1 - Morgan, M. 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.
