Within a youth participatory action research (yPAR) program, youth created a mural to represent community members’ stories about times they felt they did or did not have the power to change something in their community. Research questions were: (1) How might yPAR serve as a context for children’s identity work? And (2), how do children in a yPAR program respond to obstacles in their efforts to perform identities as social change agents? Results examine the process of mural symbol creation and are based on analyses of ethnographic field notes from 13 program meetings. Through encounters,youth engage with power as it relates to their social identities in the following: yPAR serves as a context for children’s identity work by providing them a space where they can co-construct critical engagement, and read identity and power in text and images. They respond to obstacles by critically engaging with conflict, and performing change agent identities. 2016 artículo científico 1946-2026 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=233247620006 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2332 Revista Puertorriqueña de Psicología application/pdf Asociación de Psicología de Puerto Rico Revista Puertorriqueña de Psicología (Puerto Rico) Num.2 Vol.27 |
