Action Research
Summer Institute
 June 2012
You are invited to apply to The Public Science Project’s 2nd Annual Summer Institute on Critical Participatory Action Research at The CUNY Graduate Center.
The Summer Institute on Critical Participatory Action Research is a 5-day intensive training designed to introduce the theory, methods, and ethics of critical participatory action research (PAR) to graduate students, faculty, and members of community-based organizations. Through seminars, roundtables, and hands-on workshops with experienced PAR researchers, participants will gain the necessary skills and knowledge to integrate a critical PAR approach into their scholarship, research, and/or organizing.
In the Summer Institute you will learn about:
- the history, theory, method, & ethics of critical PAR
- building partnerships with community & community-based organizations
- creating conditions for meaningful collaboration within research collectives
- designing critical participatory research with IRBs & community review boards
- participatory approaches to methods and analysis: mapping, photo-voice, youth-generated surveys, interviews, focus groups
- engaging the arts and performance as research tool
In addition, you will:
- advance your current projects & develop new research ideas in a community of peers and experienced critical PAR researchers (both university & community based)
- join a diverse international network of critical participatory action researchers
“The institute was both a great social and intellectual experience. I made colleagues and friends that I will have relationships with for the rest of my life, I learned information that will be valuable to me beyond the sphere of academia and I found parts of myself I never thought I would find this soon.” - Brett Cumberbatch, participant 2011 CPAR Institute
