The problem with defining participation is that it is ambiguous - both notionally and in actual contexts - as the concept comprises a myriad of dissimilar epistemologies, methodologies and imagined goals, while also representing disparate evaluative measures in thinking about and determining whether or not participation has actually occurred in its various applied settings (Chitnis, 2005; Huesca, 2008; Jacobson & Storey, 2004; McAnany, 2012; Melkote & Steeves, 2001; Morris, 2003; Wilkins, 2000). pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Communicare is the property of Communicare, Journal for Communication Sciences in South Africa and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
