Description

This is an advanced research methods course to introduce graduate students to history, theory, ethics, knowledge traditions, methods, processes, and dynamics of power in participatory action research (PAR).  Three inter-related traditions of participatory research will be covered in the course: action research, participatory action research, and community based participatory research.  In addition to these three main lineages, examples of PAR and PAR with youth (YPAR), transnational feminist PAR, critical PAR, and issues of research rights, social justice, and the extent to which these relate to PAR will be examined.
