Become an ARNA Member
ARNA provides 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 around the globe.
Why Join ARNA?
ARNA 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.
Through the use of action research-based knowledge mobilization, ARNA aspires to global leadership in exploring democratized knowledge production as a basis for public discourse and public policy.
Each year, ARNA hosts a site-based international action research conference, providing expanded opportunities for virtual participation across the Americas and around the world in the leading action research organization of the western hemisphere.
Practitioner researchers throughout the Americas and around the world join together to form action research communities (ARCs) around shared areas of inquiry, including food insecurity, early childhood education, health equity, musical learning, participatory action research & popular education, school counseling, school leadership, supporting the teaching of action research, and youth participatory action research.
Leadership opportunities for ARNA members are provided through the annual Conference, Action Research Communities, Virtual and Site-based workshops, and publication within the Annual ARNA Conference Proceedings.
