Community Based Research

This class will be an introduction to the methods and theory of community-based research. It will cover how and why research in partnership with community-based organizing differs from more standard approaches to social science research. It will cover several approaches to community-based and participatory-action research, helping students to understand their differences, similarities, and stakes. The course will be taught in conjunction with existing community organizing efforts and give students practice in designing, co-designing, and carrying out community-based research projects with direct policy relevance
