In this brief report, we describe photo collages generated by youth researchers as a photo-elicitation technique in youth participatory action research focused on food (in)security. The approach was implemented with 11 high school students over the course of one semester in an agriscience class at a K-12 alternative school. Student researchers used photo collages as data collection scaffolds within near-peer interviews with elementary students to prompt sharing about food experiences and inequality. This report illustrates how youth-led photo collages are a useful approach to engaging youth as co-creators of knowledge by scaffolding research capacity for high school students and engaging elementary students in research.

This brief report describes the operational processes and participatory methods involved in setting up, managing and mediating a cross-institutional youth advisory board. Youth advisory boards in museums give young people opportunities to co-program with and for their peers, as well as to have an active and visible role inside institutions. Framed by the research project Youth in Museums, the youth advisory board Listening Lab – Youth, Culture, Participation, was co-organized and developed with five cultural institutions in Lisbon, Portugal. These included the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (MAAT), BoCA – Biennal of Contemporary Art, Casa da Cerca – Contemporary Art Centre, LU.CA – Luís de Camões Theatre and the Municipal Galleries. Young people, aged 15 to 25, were invited to participate in group roundtables to discuss specific issues related to youth arts programs. In the sessions with the youth advisory board I combined a semi-structured approach with participatory methods that activated collective processes of meaning making.

Over thirty years ago, children’s participation rights were recognized internationally with the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). Increased involvement of children and young people in lead, collaborative, and advisory roles in interdisciplinary research has challenged ‘traditional’ adult research practices in numerous ways. Co-production recognizes participants as experts and creators of knowledge, engages children and young people in decision-making, and addresses traditional adult-child hierarchies. #CovidUnder19 is a movement that aims to foster intergenerational partnerships between children, young people and adult members of the child rights community to develop evidence-based advocacy to uphold children’s rights throughout the pandemic, as well as in response and recovery. The COVID 4P Log smartphone app was designed to better understand ways practitioners and policymakers protect, provide, enable participation, and prevent harm in their practice. Children and young people aged 14 to 19 from countries around the world are involved as co-researchers and advisors in research design, data analysis, and knowledge exchange. This paper explores the experiences of #CovidUnder19 young people as researchers focusing on the data analysis and knowledge exchange phase and includes their reflections on meaningful intergenerational partnership in research. This includes the importance of relationships, embracing the ‘inner child’, and fostering meaningful participation in the research process. The paper concludes with recommendations for other researchers on how to work in partnership with children and young people meaningfully to strengthen the process and impact for researchers and children’s human rights.

This paper describes how a critical qualitative bricolage of research methods, with participatory action research and constructivist grounded theory at the center, were assembled and applied to support stronger theorization of the work of public sector innovation labs while remaining strongly grounded in the experiences and intelligence of practitioners. We begin by sharing the context for this research, including describing what PSI labs are, the purpose for this research, and an overview of the process and participants. Next, the framing for this approach is described, detailing the metaphor of assembling a cabinet of curiosities. This cabinet contains five main methods and approaches including: critical research bricolage; sensitizing concepts; participatory action research; constructivist grounded theory; and weaving the assemblage together. We conclude by discussing the four key methodological insights generated , the contribution that this work makes to the literature about participatory research methods, and how researchers with a transformative intent can use this in practice.

The start of the COVID-19 pandemic altered the research landscape dramatically, but the need to understand impacts on communities through research was as great as ever. In this paper, we detail the adaptive processes we leveraged to bring a network of community and academic partners together virtually and collaboratively build a survey reaching diverse populations, the challenges we faced, and what ultimately facilitated our success. The largest driver of our work was our shared goal of gaining a better understanding of the psychosocial impacts of the pandemic on New Yorkers in order to address their needs more meaningfully. Pre-existing relationships with community partners and flexible working processes grounded in equity also supported the functioning of the team. While participant recruitment proved to be challenging, the team pivoted and employed several strategies to reach our intended audiences and increase participation. This paper includes community stakeholders’ reflections on facilitators and barriers to survey development and recruitment in the context of a pandemic, as well as considerations for moving forward with virtual community-engaged research under challenging circumstances. In addition to sharing the collaborative processes that we built, our research-to-action network’s outputs, and our reflections on successes and roadblocks we faced, this paper highlights lessons in the importance of flexibility, trust, and innovation when conducting collaborative research during rapidly evolving public health crises.

Experiences of transition into civilian life after active service differs widely for military personnel. For those who experience issues in this process of transition, life can often be characterized by perceptions of loneliness, social isolation, poor mental well-being, and a functional dependency on alcohol, alongside other negative behaviors, for coping with post-traumatic stress disorder. This research employed action research methodology and the implementation of participatory action research methods. Both facilitated a systematic and pragmatic process of revealing new understandings about how social prescribing could act as a driver of transformation for veterans and their families (51 participants engaged across 18 individual workshops). This iterative exploratory process enabled a guided understanding of complex individual and collectively-shared experiences of veterans transitioning from military back to civilian lives. The facilitated collective arts experiences for veterans and their families were undertaken by specialist artists to foster a sense of active citizenship. The study revealed that participants transitioning from military to civilian life reported an increased sense of well-being because of engaging in collective creative practice. Participants attributed this to the opportunity of learning new skills, gaining a sense of creative expression, and engaging in reflection on their military heritage and contribution to service alongside peers. Knowledge gained from this research enables consideration of how principles of participatory action research may have potential transferability to other similar contexts which serve to support veterans in their transition from military to civilian life.

This article details steps, strategies, methods, and tools used during the project formulation, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and closure of a livestock CARP conducted in the Lushoto district of Tanzania’s Tanga Region. According to the study, CARP is a successful approach to managing agriculture-related community projects because it allows for the active participation of community members and all stakeholders, resulting in a sense of ownership and assurance of project success and sustainability. However, this work established that in order for the CARP to produce desirable results, a robust framework for organization and implementation must be in place; optimal methods of involving multiple stakeholders must be used; and strategies to ensure its sustainability must be set and agreed upon by all implementers during the implementation period.

In participatory health research, people with lived experience of illness participate as co-researchers in the co-production of knowledge along with academic researchers. A central idea is to democratize knowledge production by creating space for co-researchers’ experiential, embodied knowledge. The participatory research literature includes reflexive analyses exploring the complexities of co-production in participatory research. However, despite the democratic ideals, these analyses are almost always written by academic researchers alone. In this article, two co-researchers with lived experience of Parkinson’s disease and an academic researcher carry out a collaborative autoethnographic inquiry into what “co-production” in participatory research means for participants from their own perspectives. In so doing, the article presents and illustrates a distinctive format for collaborative autoethnography as a participatory method that enables co-researchers and academic researchers to investigate, write, and publish about co-production together through dialogue across personal narratives. It also presents the specific insider insights the inquiry generated into what co-production means for participants.

Before the COVID-19 crisis, in-person engagement was the main method of ensuring community participation in participatory research processes. However, the pandemic accelerated the switch to digitally-mediated participatory research methods (DMPRMs). This article presents a case study of a digitally-mediated, human-centered design (DMHCD) process enhanced by digitally-mediated community-based participatory research approaches (DMCBPR) as part of our efforts to develop a digital access-to-justice platform for military veterans and their families. We reflect on our experience of enhancing DMHCD with DMCBPR approaches and include insights about how to facilitate the transition from in-person HCD+CBPR to DMHCD-DMCBPR. We also discuss the dual challenges of combining two different approaches while shifting to a virtual/online participatory research framework. Finally, the present study aims to achieve the following objectives: first, to add to a small—but growing—body of research around digitally-mediated participatory research methods; and second, to add to the emerging literature on HCD+CBPR integration approaches to design interventions for underserved populations.

Photovoice researchers must avoid an ahistorical application of the method by critically examining the implementation and dissemination of photovoice projects. Recognizing that photovoice is not automatically empowering and that dismantling power dynamics is an ongoing struggle requiring constant vigilance to ethical, methodological, and representational issues, I propose an anticolonial framework for photovoice, drawing on the work of anticolonial scholars. This approach acknowledges the legacies of colonialism and racism within health and research systems, an imperative for researchers working with Indigenous and marginalized communities. I address multiple phases of a photovoice project, problematizing power relations in each phase and suggesting how to anticolonially adapt theoretical orientations and methodological processes. Areas under-addressed in the photovoice literature, such as epistemic justice, recruitment power relations, decolonized concepts of rigor, problematization of pseudonyms/anonymizing, and cross-language research and writing, are discussed, interweaving analyses with practical guidance from and outcomes of my photovoice research with Indigenous and mestizo communities in Ecuador.
