John Heron (24 September 1928 – 28 November 2022)[1] was a pioneer in the creation of a participatory research method in the social sciences, called co-operative inquiry.[1] This was based on his work in 1968–69 on the phenomenology of social encounter, and which has been applied by practitioners in many fields of professional and personal development. He was committed to the process of co-operative inquiry, in whatever field it is applied, as a basic form of relational and participative spiritual practice.
