Research Justice

Methodologies for Social Change. This is the first book to take a radical approach to socially just, community centred research. Challenging traditional models for conducting social science research within marginalized populations, it examines the relationships between research, knowledge construction, and political power/legitimacy in society. Research justice is a strategic framework and methodological intervention that aims to transform structural inequalities in research. This book is the first to present a radical approach to socially just, community-centered research. It is built around a vision of equal political power and legitimacy for cultural, spiritual, and experiential knowledge, with the goal of greater equality in public policies and laws.
