Critically Engaging Participatory Action Research by Sara Kindon

This timely and informative book reasserts the value of Critical Participatory Action Research (CPAR): an approach to PAR that is informed by critical theories attending to questions of privilege and power, and that generate collaborations focused on challenging structural inequality.

Sara Kindon has worked for thirty years in community-based, participatory projects with Indigenous communities, women, young people, migrants, and former refugees. She has worked in a range of places, including Costa Rica, Indonesia, Aotearoa, and Oceania. Since 2006, she has provided research support to refugee-background communities and refugee-led organisations advocating for educational equity in the tertiary sector, improved service delivery, and more holistic approaches to refugee resettlement in New Zealand.
