Cases and Stories of Transformative Action Research builds on its
companion book, Principles and Methods of Transformative Action
Research, by describing and analyzing dozens of examples of
successful action research efforts pursued in the past five decades
by students and faculty of the Western Institute for Social
Research. Some projects are large-scale, and some are modest
interventions in the everyday lives of those participating. Some
are formal organizational efforts; others are the results of
individual or small group initiatives. Included are chapters on
community needs assessments and innovative grassroots approaches to
program evaluation; the challenges of improving our decision-making
during the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic; strategies of
intellectual activism in addressing the growing problem of
workplace bullying; action research to preserve and share the
history of the Omaha tribe; and plans for an innovative
school-based project based on collaborative action-and-inquiry
between students and Artificial Intelligence. In addition, there
are a number of detailed stories about the use of transformative
action research in such areas as somatic and trauma counseling,
ethnic studies, health disparities, gender differences, grassroots
popular education, and the improvement of statewide steps for
preventing child abuse, among many others. This book can serve as
an undergraduate or graduate social sciences text on research
methods. It is also a guidebook for action-oriented research by
academics, professionals, and lay people alike.
