Abstract (summary)
The deepening neoliberal agenda in our global context shines a light on historical and
enduring inequities of colonial and class patriarchy. While praxis is a central feature of
PAR, further attention to community-led actions is urgently needed to demonstrate the
connection between method, application and social transformation. Focusing on two contexts,
Canada and Nepal, we highlight examples of transformative community-led research tools
through the lens of social work activism. By authenticating our theories of knowledge, we
enter a critical discussion on the use of media conferences and street actions as designed and
differentially employed in each study. We conclude with the limitations and transformative
potential of PAR.
