The Effects of Husband’s Alcohol Consumption on Married Women in Three Low-Income Areas of Greater Mumbai
Spatial Dimensions of Research on Alcohol and Sexual Risk: A Case Example from a Mumbai Study
A Case Study of Participatory Action Research in a Public New England Middle School: Empowerment, Constraints and Challenges
PAR recognizes teachers and students as co‐creators in a learning process that builds self‐efficacy essential to long‐term educational success. In enabling contexts, PAR projects also allow teachers to critically deconstruct societal power, examine how these dynamics are reproduced in the classroom, and work against the silencing of student voices. This case study describes the process of implementing an inquiry‐based PAR model into a formal urba…
Challenging Hegemonies: Advancing Collaboration in Community-Based Participatory Action Research
Challenging Hegemonies:Advancing Collaboration in Community-Based Participatory Action Research Jean J. Schensul (bio), Marlene J. Berg (bio), and Ken M. Williamson (bio) Cultivated on the spikes of social injustice, participatory action research projects are designed to amplify demands and critique from the "margins" and the "bottom." . . . Legitimating democratic inquiry, PAR signifies a fundamental right to ask, investigate, dissent and demand…
Core Elements of Participatory Action Research for Educational Empowerment and Risk Prevention with Urban Youth
This paper describes Youth-PAR, a social science and advocacy-based approach to working with young people, an emerging field that cuts across current movements: positive youth development, experiential education, prevention and service learning. Because it is inherently critical, addressing structural as well as individual and group level disparities, it is particularly suitable for working with disenfranchised or marginalized youth to assist the…
Education and Advocacy: Improving Teaching and Learning Through Student Participatory Action Research
Youth PAR has demonstrated success with marginalized urban high school and middle school students, in after school settings. To be successful, however, the approach must address significant gaps in literacy, science and math skills resulting from inadequate schooling and institutionalized educational and other structural disparities. One way to address this and at the same time to achieve the dual goals of scaling up the approach and transforming…
Introduction: Research with Youth
In this special issue of Practicing Anthropology, we promote the idea that participatory action research, rooted in the applied social sciences, is a unique and important approach to transforming urban young people, their peer groups, and their communities. Youth PAR is a community approach to youth development, and activism that integrates research methods with critical thinking, communication skills and analysis of personal, community and struc…
