Research for Transformation: Power and Possibilities of Community Engaged and Collaborative Research

Tue, April 21, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

This symposium examines the power, possibilities and limitations of different community-engaged-collaborative research (CECR) methodologies in achieving social change and transformation within neighborhood, community, and institutional contexts. University and community partners draw on empirical data from interviews, testimonials, ethnographies, media, and surveys. Panelists theorize how power builds from cultivating leadership skills, research skills, “loving relationships,” “relational solidarities,” and being “in community” as a means to effectively challenge institutional inertia, racism, and knowledge hierarchies. These presentations further our knowledge on methodologies that examine social and cultural contexts of education and also efforts to transform them. Papers have implications for researchers, public educators, policymakers and organizations seeking to engage CECR methodologies to enact social change in their own local and institutional contexts.
