A report on a short-term ethnographic participatory action research project of urban Canadian, street youth that were "queer and questioning" and identifying the needs of peer support and housing. The "Pridehouse Project" (http://www.sfu.ca/pridehouse) was a community-based housing support group initiated project. Central critical questions were raised about education, epistemology, and ethics in identity-based, socially activist, research. Ethnography as both research and pedagogy is illustrated here, and the educational value of productive activity-based learning in non-formal settings, particularly for youth inhabiting the margins of mainstream social life, is argued for.
