Guest Editorial: Power in Engaged Scholarship: Dimensions and Dynamics of Knowledge Co-Creation Gateways: International Journal of Community Research & Engagement Pub Date : 2021-12-22 Margaret A. Post,Morgan Ruelle
Collaboratively engaged research is shaped by dynamic power relationships among individuals, institutions and communities. Where some disciplines have explored the theoretical and methodological implications of power relations, the engagement movement writ large has suffered from a lack of explicit conceptual models and in-depth analyses of the role of power in the process of knowledge co-creation

Navigating the Boundaries of Youth Violence Prevention and Reduction: Reflections on Power in Community Engaged Scholarship Gateways: International Journal of Community Research & Engagement Pub Date : 2021-12-16 Laurie Ross,Katie Byrne,Jennifer Safford
Community-engaged scholars grapple with power asymmetries in community-university partnerships, generally working from the assumption that deliberate practices are required to moderate the researchers’ power vis-a-vis that of the community. In this article, we suggest that this dyadic framing masks the complexity of power dynamics within communities, of which the university is just one part, and examine

A Relational Approach to Transforming Power in a Community-University Partnership Gateways: International Journal of Community Research & Engagement Pub Date : 2021-12-16 Penn Loh,Zoë Ackerman,Joceline Fidalgo
We use a relational understanding of power to analyze power dynamics at the institutional and interpersonal levels in our multi-year Co-Education/Co-Research (CORE) partnership between Tufts University Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning (UEP) and Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative (DSNI). Power in community-university partnerships is often examined only at the institutional

Text from Nasma: 'I’ve started moving my things out of the house. I’m putting it in your office for now.' Thus began the story of how one of the youth I had worked with for four years on various YPAR projects became homeless and turned to me for help. Entering this crisis with Nasma took time and an emotional toll, and it affected the power dynamics of our relationship when finishing our YPAR project

'Midwife for Power': Towards a Mujerista / Womanist Model of Community Organizing Gateways: International Journal of Community Research & Engagement Pub Date : 2021-12-03 Alexandra Piñeros Shields
In recent years, communities have responded to police violence in U.S. cities through confrontational models of community organising that evolved from patriarchal and male approaches. Very often, these approaches have not produced the hoped-for outcomes. In this article, I argue that a women-led community organising model, grounded in feminine relational power-with epistemologies, can lead to innovative

Where’s the Love? Recentering Indigenous and Feminist Ethics of Care for Engaged Climate Research Gateways: International Journal of Community Research & Engagement Pub Date : 2021-11-30 Jamie Haverkamp
Across a range of environmental change and crisis-driven research fields, including conservation, climate change and sustainability studies, the rhetoric of participatory and engaged research has become somewhat of a normative and mainstream mantra. Aligning with cautionary tales of participatory approaches, this article suggests that, all too often, ‘engaged’ research is taken up uncritically and

Considering Power in Community-Based Research: Shifting Toward New Pedagogical Approaches with a 'Public Work for Public Things' Framework Gateways: International Journal of Community Research & Engagement Pub Date : 2021-11-14 Susan Haarman,Patrick M Green
One of the fundamental questions of power in the pedagogy of community-based research (CBR) is who gets to decide what is research worthy and what is the focus of CBR questions? The reality of the power imbalance in community-based research and learning is often reflective of a systemic disengagement with the broader community. Even when instructors and administrators are intentional in how they solicit

Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is an approach that involves community members in research, not as research participants, but as partners. However, few studies have examined CBPR projects conducted among African Americans with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI). This article focuses specifically on the Inspiring Change (IC) model, which includes a leadership trio comprised of

Centring knowledge democracy within policy-making for sustainability and resilience: A discussion of the Kenyan drylands Gateways: International Journal of Community Research & Engagement Pub Date : 2020-06-02 Nkatha Mercy
Culture, environment and, therefore, knowledge of socioeconomic constructs are intricately interwoven. Over the past decade or two, pastoralists without formal education in Kenyan drylands have increasingly found themselves on the receiving end of community empowerment trainings that lean towards human–wildlife conflict and environmental conservation. Why would research entities set aside mega budgets

Biodiversity is under threat at a global level, and many of the most biodiverse hotspots are in developing regions of the world. In many of these communities, livelihoods are often dependent on the same natural landscapes that support biodiversity. As a result, achieving global conservation and development goals is a priority in these regions, and therefore they attract the interest of both local and

The tree of community knowledge and engagement Gateways: International Journal of Community Research & Engagement Pub Date : 2020-05-31 Morgan K Gardner,Kate Scarth
Deep-seated educational discourses have blamed low-income communities for their youth’s lack of high school completion. These deficit discourses reflect top–down knowledge hierarchies and a lack of knowledge democracy in education (de Sousa Santos 2007; Hall & Tandon 2017; Visvanathan 2009), and they are in need of critical and diverse knowledge reckoning by low-income communities themselves. This

Gateways: International Journal of Community Research & Engagement Pub Date : 2018-01-01 Megan Comfort,Marissa Raymond-Flesch,Colette Auerswald,Linda McGlone,Marisol Chavez,Alexandra Minnis
The health of adolescents, perhaps more than in any other period of their life, is shaped by the social determinants of health (SDH). The constellation of SDH that disadvantages a specific group's health may also make members of that population unable or unwilling to engage in health research. To build a comprehensive body of knowledge about how SDH operate within a specific social context, researchers

From reciprocity to collective empowerment: Re-framing university-school partnership discourses in the South African context Gateways: International Journal of Community Research & Engagement Pub Date : 2019-10-30 Patti Silbert
While partnerships are key to sustained engagement between universities and schools, structural and historical differences exist between partners at the level of both organisational boundaries and socioeconomic borders. Differential relations, particularly accentuated in contexts such as South Africa, are frequently masked by normative assumptions that have largely remained unquestioned. Reciprocity and mutuality

Combining feminist intersectional and community-engaged research commitments: Adaptations for scoping reviews and secondary analyses of national data sets Gateways: International Journal of Community Research & Engagement Pub Date : 2019-01-15 Leah Levac,Ann B Denis
As Hankivsky & Cormier (2011) and Denis (2008) note, the theoretical evolution of intersectionality has outpaced its methodological development. While past work has contributed to our understanding of how to apply intersectionality in research (CRIAW-ICREF & DAWN-RAFH 2014; Morris & Bunjan 2007; Simpson 2009), gaps persist. Drawing on a four-year community-university research collaboration called ‘Changing
