Description
Michelle Fine's new text offers a powerful and personal exploration of crafting research with communities. Over 30 years, she has sought to translate research into policy and practice that can enhance the human condition and create a more just world.
The book examines a range of critical participatory action research projects involving diverse groups, including school pushouts, Muslim American youth, queer youth of color, women in prison, and children navigating under-resourced schools. Fine shares her insights on sensitive decisions about epistemology, ethics, politics, and methods, as well as critical approaches to analysis and interpretation.
This invaluable guide provides a comprehensive review of the theoretical foundations of critical participatory research, addresses key questions about research design, and offers case studies of successful projects. It integrates critical race, feminist, postcolonial, and queer studies to inform participatory strategies for policy development and organizing.
