What is More than participatory? From ‘compensatory’ towards ‘expressive’ remote practices using digital technologies about?

Based on the shift from face-to-face participatory action research (PAR) with groups in situations of vulnerability to digital methods during COVID-19, we reflect on how we can go beyond __compensating__ for the physical absence of the researcher from the field. We argue that instead of simply aiming to replace face-to-face research with a digital equivalent for maintaining ‘participatory’ and ‘inclusive’ research practices, remote practices have the potential of being __more-than__ compensatory. We suggest that when producing multi-method digital approaches, we need to go beyond a concern with participant __access__ to remote practices. By rethinking remote PAR in the light of __expressive__ rather than __participatory__ research practices, we critically reflect on the (sometimes experimental) __process__ of trying out different digital research method(s) with Brazilian youth in situations of digital marginalisation, including the initial ‘failures’ and lessons learned in encouraging diverse forms of participant expression, and ownership using WhatsApp.
