Youth Participatory Action Research 

• Young people who know injustice intimately are included as co researchers

• Expertise is widely distributed but legitimacy is not

• Injustice doesn’t live in poor communities, it circulates between wealthy and poor communities

• Feed research back into community because it’s done by community

• Hull House, Jane Addams- privileged people should live with poor and exchange skills 

• Underrepresented groups aren’t just being “caught up,” but rather what they can uniquely contribute is being acknowledged. Celebratory rather that conciliatory language.

• What’s might accountability for innovation look like? 

• What does it mean to be a good ally? How can those with privilege “show up to the table” mindfully?
