Reinvigorating Multicultural Education Through Youth Participatory Action Research

Abstract

This article explores youth participatory action research as a promising instructional practice with the potential to reverse the depoliticizing and “softening” of multicultural education. It demonstrates how, with its explicit commitment to action, youth participatory action research can help to improve the educational experiences and outcomes for youth traditionally underserved by schools.

Notes

¹The term “reACTivate” is borrowed from the theme for the 2008 Annual Conference of the National Association for Multicultural Education.
