Applied Social Research: Youth Research Project (Part 2)

This course exposes students to the actual implementation of a Participatory Action Research (PAR) Project. Building on theoretical knowledge of PAR from Part 1, students will be expected to carry out a PAR Project with youth in an area of interest they have chosen. Student Researchers, with the supervision of the Course Coordinator and the support of a Site Supervisor will co-construct an understanding of an area youth are interested in improving/changing and conduct a PAR Project that will lead to improvements for youth. Students will be required to demonstrate proficiency in research design, proposal writing and project management through logic models.
