Abstract: | Participatory Action Research (PAR) and its many variants are rapidly gaining prominence as viable research tools and methodological
alternatives to address histories of exploitation, surveillance, and social exclusion, deeply embedded in mainstream research.
However, it is at this transgressive intersection of theory, action, expertise, power, and justice that a host of new challenges
to the conduct of research in collaboration with and not just on, or for subordinated people, emerges. This article attempts to intimately describe the challenges of using PAR methods to revise
Paulo Freire’s notion of critical consciousness in the context of a parent organizing group and a youth research project,
while taking seriously the speed bumps, multiple subjectivities, implicit racism, sexism, classism, and politics of knowledge
production that are too often obscured behind published academic writing.
