Session 014: CRITICAL DIALOGUE: Co-constructing Methodologies Towards Just and Sustainable Futures
Room: Wabash Room

Sponsor: Community, Research, and Practice

Organizers &

Presiders/Discussants: Sarah E. Stanlick, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Ireri Bernal, University of Massachusetts Lowell

Description: 

In this session, we seek work that is rooted in community voice and disrupts deficit-based narratives in community-based participatory action research. We hope to raise examples of methodologies that center epistemic justice through meaningful co-creation. This session promotes research ethics grounded in relationality, disrupting the university- academic divide, as well as global north and south divides in knowledge production and social problem definitions.
