Lim presents his experiences leading a one-year, $1M USD participatory action research project in a predominantly African American community in Roanoke, VA. The project involved building contexts of sense-making and organizing strategic collaborative action between government, nonprofit, academic partners, and youth and adult residents. In this work, which centered working with youth in planning, trauma and healing emerged as major themes that we continuously worked to define and redefine. This talk touches on emotionally-engaged planning, community-engaged teaching and learning, and meanings of "resilience."
