Building Foundations for Strategic University-Community Research Collaborations for Equity: Challenges and Opportunities

Sun, April 10, 2:45 to 4:15pm, Marriott Marquis, Floor: Level Four, Treasury

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium examines collaborative research projects committed to equity. It brings together engaged researchers who work in the contested intersections where schools, disadvantaged communities, and universities meet, or in the public learning spaces created to challenge injustice by community-based organizations and their partnering activist scholars. The papers and discussion deepen attention to and understanding of the complex challenges and possibilities of collaborative research. Two papers are studies of projects initiated by a major public university research center. The third paper draws on interview data from an undergraduate university setting to explore core differences between service learning and youth participatory action research (YPAR). The fourth paper examines the constraints and affordances of a YPAR project located in a community-based setting.
