Book description:
While headed in similar directions, rarely have feminist researchers and participatory
action researchers acknowledged each other as collaborators with mutually important
contributions to the journey. Through the work presented in this volume, the
contributors hope to influence feminist scholarship to be more participatory
and action-oriented, and participatory action research to be more grounded in
feminist theories and values.
This book has two distinct yet interrelated and intertwining aims. First, it
creates a space for a diverse group of educators, researchers, and scholars
to grapple with the multiple and complex issues that are threaded throughout
feminist and action research. Second, it seeks to examine how action research
and feminist research can complement each other in developing strategies for
engaging in collaborative research that is rooted in activism and productive
change.
