In this manuscript, we explore the promise and challenges of youth participatory action research (YPAR), paying particular attention to ethical issues and power dynamics that emerge in the context of research partnerships between youth and adults. We begin by reviewing the key tenets of YPAR and then go on to discuss how these tenets are often at odds with dominant approaches to research. We describe the tension between the values of YPAR and the systems and structures embedded in the academy. Further, we elucidate how adultism and the capitalist nature of the academy intersect with white supremacy culture, posing significant barriers to meaningful youth participation in community research partnerships. We then describe ways in which participatory scholars can disrupt these systems as well as larger paradigm shifts in the culture of academia that will be required to elevate youth voices and to amplify their efforts for equity.

青年参与式研究方法：道德、参与和有意义的行动

在这份手稿中，我们探讨了青年参与行动研究 (YPAR) 的前景和挑战，特别关注在青年与成人之间的研究伙伴关系背景下出现的伦理问题和权力动态。我们首先回顾 YPAR 的关键原则，然后继续讨论这些原则如何与主流研究方法不一致。我们描述了 YPAR 的价值观与嵌入学院的系统和结构之间的张力。此外，我们阐明了成人主义和学院的资本主义性质如何与白人至上文化相交，对有意义的青年参与社区研究合作构成重大障碍。
