Synopsis

This text is a concise, accessible, and applied how-to guide for people interested in conducting community-engaged research. The authors define specific community-engaged research approaches, and then present a variety of strategies, resources, and tips throughout the book in the context of social justice and ethics. Written by authors who teach research methods and who conduct community-engaged research, the book benefits from a range of case studies and examples from areas as diverse as mental health, criminal-legal research, and urban planning. A short companion guide posted on the Resources tab above is designed for research teams to use collaboratively to build capacity in carrying out their research within communities.
