Many scholars have turned to the groundbreaking critical research methodology, Youth-Led Participatory Action Research (YPAR), as a way to address both the political challenges and inherent power imbalances of conducting research with young people.
Les merMany scholars have turned to the groundbreaking critical research methodology, Youth-Led Participatory Action Research (YPAR), as a way to address both the political challenges and inherent power imbalances of conducting research with young people. Revolutionizing Education makes an extraordinarily unique contribution to the literature on adolescents by offering a broad framework for understanding this research methodology. With an informative combination of theory and practice, this edited collection brings together student writings alongside those of major scholars in the field. While remaining sensitive to the methodological challenges of qualitative inquiry, Revolutionizing Education is the first definitive statement of YPAR as it relates to sites of education.
Julio Cammarota is Assistant Professor in the Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology and the Mexican-American Studies and Research Center at the University of Arizona.
Michelle Fine is Distinguished Professor of Social Psychology, Urban Education, and Women’s Studies at the Graduate School and University Center, City University of New York.
