• This chapter describes the design of the research project and the ways that young people experiencing situations of dis- and relocation, racism, and financial precarity came to be co-researchers who were involved in the collection, analysis, and presentation of data about relations between young people of color and police officers in their communities. It argues that rather than producing media and then later confronting the problem of assembling an audience, a media-rich participatory action research project can reposition young people as creators of media-rich research in their roles as collectors and analyzers of data. The chapter begins with a discussion of the research design and objectives of what we refer to as a media-rich youth participatory action research project. Research has established that oppressed youth who develop a critical consciousness of inequality are more likely to be motivated to take action for community and social change.
