HOD-883CP Advanced Research Methodologies: Critical Participatory Action Research2 or 4 semester credits
This course introduces student to the concepts and principles of critical participatory action research (CPAR; sometimes called simply PAR and Community-Based Participatory Research-CBPR), and to learn how to apply its philosophy, values, approaches, and methods to an empowering collaboration between “community members” and “researchers.” Through a variety of experiential and didactic methods, participants will explore CPAR as a potentially powerful methodology for individual and community empowerment and social change. Although the focus will be on the methods used to engage groups in collective inquiry, analysis, and action, our exploration will be grounded in a foundational understanding of critical theories in social sciences, education, and research and of the social, political, and institutional contexts that shape CPAR projects.
