Join 51社区黑料CERi for the launch of Critical Futures: Community-Engaged Research in a Time of Crisis and Social Transformation, a timely and provocative book that explores the evolving landscape of community-engaged research in an era of social, political, and environmental crisis.
Bringing together leading scholars, community researchers, and activists, Critical Futures examines how community-engaged research can advance social justice, decolonization, and transformative change. Through critical essays and field-based case studies, the book challenges conventional academic hierarchies and calls for ethical, equitable, and relational research practices rooted in solidarity and accountability.
Speakers include co-editors Stuart Poyntz, Am Johal, and Kari Grain (with additional speakers to be announced) who will reflect on themes including power dynamics in university鈥揷ommunity partnerships, the impacts of COVID-19 on community-based research, and the role of solidarity in building more just research futures.
This event will feature conversations with the authors, who will reflect on themes including Indigenous and Two-Spirit community research, power dynamics in university鈥揷ommunity partnerships, the impacts of COVID-19 on community-based research, and the role of solidarity in building more just research futures.
The evening will also include dedicated time for community connection and dialogue, creating space to reflect collectively on how we practice, teach, and sustain community-engaged research in times of uncertainty and possibility.
This event is open to researchers, students, community partners, practitioners, and anyone interested in the future of engaged scholarship.
