This course introduces students to the techniques of participatory action research (PAR) and the practice of case study research. PAR processes are place or case-specific, place a premium on local ways of knowing, and gauge the success of research in terms of what partner-communities do with the knowledge that is co-produced. The objective of PAR is to generate the ideas, information, and understandings that ought to inform efforts to promote social change. By focusing on ways of co-producing knowledge using various forms of data collection and analysis, students will learn how the people and communities who are often university partners in applied social science research can use findings or results from PAR case studies to address the challenges they confront in their communities. Learn more about Participatory Action Research at MIT.

This proposal is designed to review literature and investigate the successes of conducting action research or community-based participatory research (CBPR) in marginalized communities. In particular, could this inform MSU Northern college faculty and staff in adopting policies, processes and activities including implementing CBPR practices and projects into their classrooms? In fact, could this collaborative approach where community members, organizational representatives and researchers engage in all aspects of the investigation and contribute expertise, decision making and ownership be woven into the fabric of course work, program outcomes and ultimately student success? Would this outcome adjustment improve engagement and learning of all students including their American Indian students? Finally, might MSU Northern faculty be interested in developing the skill sets to support a curricula upgrade to course and program requirements once they acquire the knowledge, skills and support to make this transition?
