%0 Journal Article %T Swimming upstream: navigating ethical practices in the creation of a participatory youth media workshop %A Myra Margolin %J Les Ateliers de l¡¯¨¦thique %D 2009 %I Universit¨¦ de Montr¨¦al %X Despite the growing popularity of participatory video as a tool for facilitating youth empower- ment, the methodology and impacts of the practice are extremely understudied. This paper des- cribes a study design created to examine youth media methodology and the ethical dilemmas that arose in its attempted implementation. Specifically, elements that added ¡°rigor¡± to the study (i.e., randomization, pre- and post-measures, and an intensive interview) conflicted with the fun- damental tenets of youth participation. The paper concludes with suggestions for studying par- ticipatory media methodologies that are more in line with an ethics of participation. %K ¨¦thique appliqu¨¦e %K participation %K jeunes %U http://creum.umontreal.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/pdf_12_Margolin.pdf
