Participatory Action Research
Research to inform praxis
Partners in Service provides logistical support for academic participatory action research that supports Indigenous sovereignty and social capital.
Research is particularly needed in the following areas:
Development of culturally specific pedagogy for English instruction in rural Kichwa communities
Infrastructure solutions for drinking water in water-scarce highland communities
Ecological solutions for aquifer restoration
Soil restoration
Continuing colonial power relations and ways to address them in Indigenous-settler collaboration
Agriculture and public health
Social media and Indigenous social organization
Local artisanal production, resource chains, and the cultural/economic implications of global trade
Story collection and archiving
However, we welcome any collaboration that aids community development and confronts colonial hegemony.
