Revolutionizing Education, Revitalized cover

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.

“The second volume of Revolutionizing Education is evidence that Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) has remained and will continue to blaze new paths in our understanding of research, pushing against norms of what we consider evidence, knowledge, and knowing…the authors continue this tradition by brilliantly blending empirical precision, scientific imagination, creative expression, and methodological love.”
From the Foreword by Shawn A. Ginwright, Professor of Practice, Harvard Graduate School of Education, USA

"This timely volume is both a resource and a call to action for all those committed to joining youth and communities in creative resistance through participatory research."
Django Paris, Professor of Multicultural Education, University of Washington, USA

“With consciousness and care, Drs. Cammarota and Domínguez have gathered community members, youth and scholars to tell an unapologetic truth in fascist times. It is my hope that we take the lessons from this book and continue to fight with righteous rage. As the youth constantly remind us, ‘we are the only ones who will get us out of this mess.’”
David Stovall, Professor of Educational Policy and African-American Studies, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA

"We are indebted to Ashley D. Domínguez and Julio Cammarota for gathering writers/scholars/artists/students together, again, to affirm that young people are deeply engaged in asking hard questions, gathering collective materials, analyzing with critical theory, and (re)presenting themselves/their communities and their struggles with critical science and through the arts."
From the Epilogue by Michelle Fine, Distinguished Professor of Critical Psychology and Urban Education CUNY, USA and Visiting Professor at the University of South Africa
