Full Description
A must-have resource, Critical Participatory Action Research in Higher Education brings together real examples, case studies, and learning materials to guide the use of critical action research methodologies. This timely book catalogues efforts to affect change in our own communities, and invites readers to consider how action research has been conducted in U.S. colleges and universities by minoritized and marginalized scholars. In particular, it highlights those projects that have been led by Scholars of Color, queer scholars, disabled scholars, and other racially minoritized scholars, with an explicit aim to raise up and attend to the needs of our communities. An important text for education graduate programs, this book provides a roadmap for community-engaged work, includes framing theory to help new researchers apply this work to college and university settings, and provides rich features such as cases and sample datasets and other tools for use in Research courses.
