Research for Change versus Research as Change: Lessons from a "Mujerista" Participatory Research Team
Dyrness, Andrea
Anthropology & Education Quarterly, v39 n1 p23-44 Mar 2008
In this article, I aim to further the discussion of engaged research in anthropology and education by examining the unique changes promoted by participatory research in contrast to policy-oriented activist research models. Drawing on my work with Latina immigrant mothers in a school reform movement, I argue for a Latina feminist view of participatory research that illuminates and builds on Latina women's capacities for social critique and transformative resistance.
