Division E Fireside Chat. Bridging the "Knowing-Doing Gap": Strategies for Engaging Communities, Researchers, and Practitioners for Social Justice in Education

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

As education research moves toward public scholarship that includes the communities in which investigation is conducted, graduate students should become well versed in methods that incorporate a community voice. Additionally, once this research is conducted, the results must make it back into the public sphere to be of use to the community. The aim of this session is to provide graduate students a) strategies for conducting community based participatory research, b) suggestions for study buy-in and being culturally responsive to the needs of community members, and c) techniques for translating research into practice and policy.
