Abstract
ABSTRACT In this viewpoint, we review our PARqueologia Migrante project, a collaborative virtual Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) that was developed by five Latina (im)migrants in Baltimore. Virtual spaces are crucial for collaboration during times of crisis, even if recent immigrant communities cannot always access them easily. Furthermore, young people must play a vital role in deciding the conditions under which access to the virtual world should (or should not) occur. We have identified three key themes that influenced the relationship between access and collaboration in our YPAR, namely: the digital divide as it affects Latina youth, youth disconnections from virtual research, and bridging between the home and the virtual space. We offer insights for adult researchers seeking to collaborate with youth across different geographies and create community in virtual spaces.
