Sustaining a Research Coordination Network: Critical Relationality as the Building Blocks for CRAFT

Session Submission Type: Alternative Format Session

Abstract

This alternative symposium addresses equity-oriented, learning-through-making through the CRAFT Equity Making Network. CRAFT is a research coordination network for sharing knowledge and data across multiple sites of research and practice. Challenges for network growth and sustainability are important considerations. These issues are not new challenges, instead they require Empowerment Literacy(ies): Making Good Trouble That Actuates Agency. Presenters will question and problematize collaboration, sustainability, critical relationality, action outcomes, and research trajectories.
