Two of the foremost educational researchers chronicle their 3 -year collaboration across tumultuous shifts in educational studies, bearing witness to cumulative inequities in schools and urban communities.
Weis and Fine examine critical research designs with young people from elite, working class, and impoverished class fractions, as well as across racial and ethnic groups, including those experiencing structural dispossession and those enjoying privilege.
Curated to be useful to today's students and future generations of scholars, the volume chronicles the sustained impacts of unjust state systems and dives into vibrant fissures in which the imagination flourishes and possibilities grow.
Chapters explore rich linkages of theory and methods knotty questions of collaboration, partnership, and ethics and designs that trace social relations over time and space. A newly developed introduction and conclusion bookend six previously published chapters, many coauthored with a range of colleagues, animating research studies with a broad range of young people and young adults navigating the uneven landscapes of education in urban America.

- Examines projects that have been designed alongside and by vibrant research teams from across schools, prisons, youth movements, and public and private educational P– plus settings.
