Abstract
The profile that follows presents an account of politics, race, method, and social change drawn from one key participant's experience with an ambitious participatory action research project in East St. Louis.1 The key participant who tells the story is Ken Reardon, an assistant professor in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. The profile was produced at Cornell University by Brian Kreiswirth and John Forester as part of a larger project to explore the character of practical and political judgment required of participatory action researchers in a variety of fields. In the spring 1992 semester, John Welsh conducted a series of interviews with PAR practitioners, beginning with Ken Reardon; Kreiswirth transcribed these interviews and did the initial editing of Reardon's account. Forester super vised the interviewing, transcribing and editing process and did further editing of the transcriptions so they could be used in the undergraduate and graduate courses.
