Participatory action research (PAR) and Community-based participatory research (CBPR) prioritize collaborative research approaches with the goal of social transformation. Themes from this qualitative study of 15 early career social work PAR and CBPR scholars indicate that they are strongly motivated to pursue these methodologies because of their own experiences with disempowerment as well as their connection to social work values. Participants reflected upon their experiences with marginalization (due to observed and unobserved identities/experiences), which fostered a commitment to emphasizing power sharing and elevating marginalized voices. Additionally, identity played a role in how researchers experienced doing PAR/CBPR. Researchers described being simultaneously an insider and outsider in the communities in which they worked, especially the ways that their status as university researchers impacted their positioning in the communities they considered their own. This article explores how identity motivates and presents challenges that scholars must navigate when pursuing PAR/CBPR. Additionally, findings indicate that some scholars who hold marginalized identities experience increased vulnerability within academia when they engage in PAR/CBPR. Such experiences may impact whose voices are represented in the body of social work literature.

身份在激励和塑造社会工作参与式行动研究学者体验中的作用

参与式行动研究 (PAR) 和基于社区的参与式研究 (CBPR) 优先考虑以社会转型为目标的合作研究方法。这项对 15 名早期职业社会工作 PAR 和 CBPR 学者的定性研究的主题表明，他们强烈地追求这些方法，因为他们自己的权力被剥夺的经历以及他们与社会工作价值观的联系。参与者反思了他们在边缘化方面的经历（由于观察到和未观察到的身份/经历），这促进了对强调权力分享和提升边缘化声音的承诺。此外，身份在研究人员如何体验 PAR/CBPR 方面发挥了作用。研究人员描述了在他们工作的社区中既是局内人又是局外人，特别是他们作为大学研究人员的身份影响他们在他们认为自己的社区中的地位的方式。本文探讨了身份如何激发并提出了学者在追求 PAR/CBPR 时必须应对的挑战。此外，研究结果表明，一些持有边缘化身份的学者在参与 PAR/CBPR 时在学术界经历了更多的脆弱性。这些经历可能会影响社会工作文献中代表谁的声音。研究结果表明，一些持有边缘化身份的学者在参与 PAR/CBPR 时在学术界经历了更多的脆弱性。这些经历可能会影响社会工作文献中代表谁的声音。研究结果表明，一些持有边缘化身份的学者在参与 PAR/CBPR 时在学术界经历了更多的脆弱性。这些经历可能会影响社会工作文献中代表谁的声音。
