Synopsis

Feminist community research is a collaborative methodology that holds the promise of building a more just society. But in the absence of critical analysis and responsible use of power, the approach can lead to naive or harmful practices. This interdisciplinary volume acknowledges the challenges that researchers can encounter, and discusses strategies that have been employed to overcome them. By sharing collective wisdom gained from research among diverse groups - from immigrant and Aboriginal women in Vancouver to poverty-reduction practitioners in Vietnam - this book will help researchers and government agencies build better bridges between research institutions and communities.
