Title
Community-Based Partnerships: Advancing Epistemic Rights through Improvement Research
Alternate name
Chapter 9
Abstract/Description
Our argument is that improvement science can—and ought to—play a role in advancing the epistemic rights of those most impacted by oppression. Communities, of course, have vast and profound epistemic resources and community cultural wealth (Yosso, 2005). But CBR [community-based research] invites the field to think about university- and community-based knowledges and actions in less binary, more dialectical terms. In the remainder of the chapter, we draw on a 10+ year research-practice partnership to illustrate the ways in which CBR may help create the conditions for collaborative inquiry into, and action on, issues of educational (in)justice that are salient to our community partners. We situate our work within some of the ongoing social and political dynamics of our city and university to underscore how there are no neutral locations from which to conduct research. We then review some of the intellectual traditions that have informed our own understanding of CBR. We draw on these traditions and examples from our partnership research to conceptualize several epistemological and pragmatic affordances of CBR directed toward analyzing and transforming educational inequities, while simultaneously prefiguring alternative spaces of learning through research. We end with recommendations for how improvement science might take up the principles of CBR to live up to its ideals of research conducted in concert with, and for the benefit of, community partners and local contexts.
