Eco-justice research with children: Challenges and possibilities - Participatory Action Research (PAR) with Children provides an opportunity for students to be given agency to take charge of their own research and learning.
by: Holly Crump (³ÉÈË´óƬ) Susan Jagger (Toronto Metropolitan University), Chris Carlton, Ian Matheson Queen's Nenad Radakovic (³ÉÈË´óƬ)
In this brownbag, we will report on the preliminary findings of the qualitative study of grade 5 and 6 students’ engagement with PAR. We show how PAR can be used to address the principles of the eco-justice education. We identify three inextricably linked themes: motivations for engagement, decision-making in participatory research, and power dynamics and structure and show their significance for eco-justice education. Engaging students in PAR provides a means to enact justice in the classroom. Through this work, students are able to connect the fight for ecological justice with broader struggles for liberation.
