在这篇文章中，作者反思了作为大学-社区伙伴关系的一部分，他们集体参与社区参与式行动研究（PAR）。作者讨论了PAR的变革潜力和他们在实践中所面临的紧张局势。该分析提出了代表性、问责制和包容性等问题，这些问题是女权主义和反种族主义理论、批判教学法、社区研究和社会正义工作的核心。首先，作者通过在这一批判性视角中定位他们的立场来讨论PAR。其次，作者关注的是他们对参加犹他州盐湖城梅斯蒂索艺术与行动主义团体的年轻人进行的研究。作者确定了一个具有解放意义的PAR的关键贡献，这可能与致力于社会变革的研究人员特别相关。综上所述，作者将这项工作中的紧张和挑战确定为“批判性希望”的女权主义实践，“在那里可以寻求什么；凡是曾经存在的，都被批判；在哪里，就在哪里。”
In this article, the authors reflect on their collective engagements with community-based participatory action research (PAR) as part of a university—community partnership. The authors discuss both the transformative potential of PAR and the tensions that they struggle with in their praxis. The analysis raises questions of representation, accountability, and inclusion that are central to feminist and antiracist theory, critical pedagogy, community-based research, and social justice work. First, the authors discuss PAR by locating their position within this critical perspective. Second, the authors focus on research that the authors conducted with young people participating in the Mestizo Arts and Activism Collective of Salt Lake City, Utah. The authors identify key contributions of a liberatory PAR that may be of particular relevance to researchers who are working toward social change. To conclude, the authors identify the tensions and challenges in doing this work as a feminist praxis of ‘‘critical hope,’’ ‘‘where what could be is sought; where what has been, is critiqued; and where what is, is troubled.’’
