“…Results from our abstract review analysis indicated that the 22 articles included both conceptual and empirical approaches and utilized a variety of methodologies. The conceptual articles ( n = 8) made a range of arguments for the use of YPAR in schooling: an approach that positions youth as leaders in actualizing systemic change (Cook & Kruger-Henny, 2017), a means to promote college and career readiness (Cook et al, 2019), a hip hop or photovoice group process that supports Black and Latinx youth’s social/emotional development (Levy et al, 2018; Smith et al, 2012; Williams et al, 2020), an antiracist method to promote social/emotional learning across a multitiered system of supports (Edirmanasinghe et al, 2022), an approach to restorative practices (Garnett et al, 2019), and a research method (Brion-Meisels & Alter, 2018).
