Abstract

Mit einem kritisch-reflexiven Ansatz leisten wir einen Beitrag zur Diskussion darüber, wie Partizipation und Peer-Forschung umgesetzt werden können, und problematisieren die Grenzen, Möglichkeiten und Auswirkungen der Beteiligung von Jugendlichen aus Randgruppen an Forschungsprojekten. Zunächst stellen wir den Peer-Forschungsansatz in der Theorie vor. Dabei setzen wir uns auch kritisch mit den Konzepten der Vulnerabilität und Positionalität sowie Fragen der integrativen Beteiligung und des Empowerments auseinander. Danach ergänzen wir konkrete Beispiele und Lehren aus unseren Erfahrungen mit einem multinationalen Projekt mit jungen Migrant*innen als Peer-Forscher*innen. Es folgen Berichte einer Gruppe von Peer-Forscher*innen, um kritisch darüber nachzudenken, was ihre partizipatorischen Erfahrungen charakterisiert, wobei wir den Begriff der Vulnerabilität als analytische Linse neu konzeptualisieren. Anschließend fassen wir die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse aus unserem Beitrag zusammen.
