Description: 

In this session, we seek work rooted in community voice that disrupts deficit-based narratives in community-based participatory action research. We highlight methodologies that center epistemic justice through meaningful co-creation. This session promotes research ethics grounded in relationality, challenges the university–academic divide, and interrogates Global North–South divides in knowledge production and social problem definitions.
