Fine shares her struggles over the course of 30 years to translate research into policy and practice that can enhance the human condition and create a more just world. Animated by the presence of W.E.B. DuBois, Gloria Anzald a, Maxine Greene, and Audre Lorde, the book examines a wide array of critical participatory action research (PAR) projects involving school pushouts, Muslim American youth, queer youth of color, women in prison, and children navigating under-resourced schools. Throughout, Fine assists readers as they consider sensitive decisions about epistemology, ethics, politics, and methods; critical approaches to analysis and interpretation; and participatory strategies for policy development and organizing. \u003cem\u003eJust Research in Contentious Times\u003c\/em\u003e is an invaluable guide for creating successful participatory action research projects in times of inequity and uncertainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eReviews the theoretical and historical foundations of critical participatory research.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAddresses why, how, with whom, and for whom research is designed. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers case studies of critical PAR projects with youth of color, Muslim American youth, indigenous and refugee activists, and LGBTQ youth of color.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegrates critical race, feminist, postcolonial, and queer studies.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michelle Fine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807758736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807758731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Teachers College Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.15w x 0.35d","brand":"Michelle Fine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044876087551,"sku":"9780807758731","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a3c02422-3d64-4068-9323-079d6f5ad00c.jpg?v=1684975423","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/just-research-in-contentious-times-michelle-fine-9780807758731","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
