Participatory Action Research (PAR) provides opportunitie s for young people to study and take action to address issues that directl y affect their lives and aspirations. Although a new generation of PAR sch olarship has shown how it can be a vehicle for educational equity and yout h political activism (Cammarota & Fine\, 2008\; Morrell\, 2004)\, it is re latively uncommon to see PAR used in the DML community\, despite strong su bstantive overlap in learning principles that they endorse. This is a miss ed opportunity because of the complementary strengths of each tradition: P AR can benefit from insights about digital media and participatory culture s (Jenkins\, 2006) and the Connected Learning community can draw on PAR’s understanding of how to engage young people in critical social analysis\, systematic research\, and policy deliberation.
\nOur purpose in this workshop\, therefore\, is for participants to learn how to integrate digi tal media tools\, specifically Google Maps\, with a critical PAR approach that privileges spatial analysis of differential access to sustainable liv elihoods. A team of youth ethnographers and university researchers from th e Pathways Project will lead a workshop that combines interactive demonstr ation of digital PAR methods with sharing of our findings. For the demonst ration\, we will model a digital mapping method used to understand opportu nities for\, and barriers to\, interest-driven careers within youths’ comm unities. Youth PAR studies have recently drawn on GPS-supported mapping ac tivities to investigate issues of spatial justice (Soja\, 2009) such as yo ung people’s mobility and perceptions of safety (Literat\, 2013\; Taylor & Hall\, 2013).

\nWe will also share findings about ch allenges and opportunities for access to sustainable livelihoods. These fi ndings suggest the importance of Connected Learning sites in supporting yo ung people’s development as professionals\, and in providing crucial expos ure to\, and guidance in seeking opportunities.

\nThis workshop addresses the conference sub-theme through exploring the challenges and opportunities of youth and adults leveraging new media to work collaboratively to investigate equity and access in pos t-secondary pathways. Conducting digitally mediated youth research with ge ographically distributed sites can be supported by tools such as Google Ma ps which serves as both a research and communication tool.
