ARNA - Action Research Network of the Americas
ARNA was initially organized in 2012 by five “network initiators” with a vision to support and promote a wide variety of forms of participatory research that would be shared to increase knowledge production, knowledge dissemination and knowledge democracy for critical, social, educational and environmental issues in the Americas and beyond.
As we move forward, we will use this site to document the history of ARNA. Check out some of our previous conference information.
The mission of the Action Research Network of the Americas (ARNA) is to provide a collegial, practice-oriented, and professional development space where practitioners and students of action research across the Americas can come together to share ideas and develop initiatives that will strengthen the position of action and participatory research in the diversity of communities around the globe.
ARNA was initially organized in 2012 by five “action research network initiators” with a vision to support and promote a wide variety of forms of participatory research that would be shared to increase and honor the wide diversity of knowledge production, knowledge dissemination and knowledge democracy for critical, social, educational and environmental issues in the Americas and beyond.
ARNA is a professional membership-based organization whose members are committed to taking action locally, regionally, nationally and internationally to promote action research that is conducted with a commitment to honesty, integrity, inclusiveness, multi-vocality, engagement and achievement within sustainable democratic societies.
