In Indigenous contexts, participatory action research (PAR) is an increasingly standard research methodology. Involving community residents at every stage of the research process to facilitate radical democratic knowledge-production and social change, PAR holds much promise in allowing Indigenous peoples to set their own terms in research, and to ensure that the research serves to benefit--rather than misrepresent or extract from--their communities. Yet, without rigorously and meaningfully incorporating Indigenous epistemologies, cosmologies, and methodologies into PAR, it risks perpetuating the long-standing colonial damage that research continues to inflict on Indigenous peoples. In this hybrid (part-seminar, part-practicum) community-engaged class, students will learn about key concepts in designing decolonial PAR projects, while gaining hands-on experience with PAR through partnerships with the Oregon Pacific Islander Coalition (OPIC). This course is dual listed with IDS 450.
