arts, and the humanities, Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodologies, which specifically aim to achieve social justice and eliminate inequalities for underrepresented populations (Zuber-Skerritt, 2018), still remain rare outside the field of applied
linguistics. As scholars who do implement the approach have shown, PAR holds as a key objective the integration of stakeholders into the research agenda and essentially distributes power to researchers and stakeholders with the end goal of creating social
change and building sustainable programs within underrepresented communities (Rodriguez & Brown, 2009). This symposium aims to raise awareness, interest, and support for the implementation of PAR methodologies within the field of applied linguistics and give<span style="margin:0px"> </span></span><span style="margin:0px;font-size:12pt;line-height:normal;font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:black">researchers
