Abstract

In this chapter, “Participatory Action Research (PAR) and Homeless Youth,” David Alan Goldberg provides an overview of Participatory Action Research (PAR) and explores the advantages of utilizing this methodology with homeless youth as a way for approaching questions of community and social justice. By incorporating the voice and viewpoint of homeless youth in the framework and substance of the research, PAR differs from traditional academic studies in terms of participation, ownership, and whose voices shape the research. Through youth’s involvement and self-inquiry through PAR and the subsequent sharing of their experiences and perspectives, new and beneficial understandings of their lives and situations can emerge toward the possibility of actualizing social justice and inclusion.
