Abstract: This article serves as an introduction to the FQS special issue Participatory Qualitative Research.. In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in participatory research strategies. The articles in this special issue come from different disciplines.
Top definition. Bottom-Dweller. An insult which indicates that the recipient is a member of society's lowest levels. This may have stemmed from Elizabethean times, when the poorer viewers at a theatre had to watch from the ground (hence their nickname, 'Groundlings'), which had no seats.
bottom-up planning. A participative approach to planning in which there is involvement at all levels, plans are developed at the lower levels of an organisation and funnelled up through consecutive levels until they reach top management.
