The whyPAR Podcast is a podcast where youth participatory action research (YPAR) practitioners discuss the ethical dimensions of conducting YPAR. In this podcast, we explore issues of co-leading YPAR projects, building relationships, power dynamics, and sharing our work together. We ask practitioners to consider the ethical commitments that guide their work, as they push against structures, and reach towards new futures. The whyPAR Podcast is based out of the Youth Research Lab at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) in the University of Toronto.
