Upon reading Rachel's Journey to Praxis: Supporting Youth Activism, it became evident that she was employing an innovative research method, 'Crust.' This qualitative approach, centered on interviews, enabled her to gather perspectives from nine youth workers within three non-profit organizations focused on supporting young people.
To me, her sauce felt like a constructivist mindset. She used this research to build on a guiding idea or theory: that systems and structures are malleable and that young people can challenge the conditions and policies that inform their lives. From what I understand from the reading, she believes that can be done through youth social justice activism.
Her toppings were the interviews. The interviews were used to build upon her research and come to a conclusion.
Jai I love the mix of styles she utilizes. It made me feel better to know I can collect my data in so many different ways.
