Revolutionizing Education, Revitalized: Creative Resistance Through Youth Participatory Action Research

Revolutionizing Education, Revitalized is a critical exploration into the evolution of Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) through the lens of creative resistance, emphasizing the role of art-based approaches in inquiry and activism for youth.

YPAR transforms pedagogy and fosters student-centered approaches to address social inequities in education. Coming over 15 years after the groundbreaking publication Revolutionizing Education, this new book collates the voices of prominent and emerging YPAR scholars, practitioners, and youth leaders to explore student-centered arts-based approaches across literacy, music, theater, environmental justice, and more. This volume highlights innovative strategies and creative endeavors to mobilize knowledge for educational change and liberation.

Combining conceptual notions with practical guidance, this interdisciplinary exploration of YPAR is important reading for practitioner-scholars and graduate students engaged in PAR or YPAR, as well as graduate students and practitioners in social justice education or community-based programs.
