N2 - This chapter provides an overview of the central theoretical tenets, key concepts, and practical implications of participatory action research (PAR). Two empirical examples illustrate the ways in which PAR projects are rooted in cycles of participation, inquiry, contestation, and action. Tips are provided for novice PAR researchers and resources for making a case for the legitimacy of PAR. Readers are invited to consider a PAR approach to studying social problems that can produce valuable knowledge and galvanize positive social change.
