Theorizing Legal Participatory Action Research Critical Race/Feminism and Participatory Action Research

In this article, the authors discuss how they—as legal scholars—have incorporated principles of participatory action research into their work as critical race/feminist legal researchers. Concerned particularly with how predatory lending practices are exacerbating economic inequalities in the United States, the authors describe their ongoing community-based research on the “fringe economy” and the importance of bringing critical race/feminist insights to issues of economic justice.
