Conceptualizing and testing factors that contribute to the success of community-academic partnerships are critical to understanding their contributions to the health and well-being of communities. Most measures to date focus on factors that contribute to the development of new partnerships, and only a few have been adequately tested and validated.…

Autism research is on the cusp of significant change. There are mounting calls from Autistic self-advocates, researchers, and other scientists for a paradigm shift in autism research. Yet little is known about what non-academic members of the Autistic and autism communities think about autism research. We -- a team of Autistic and non-autistic…

The aim of this study is to analyse the process of gestation, development and scope of student participation as a movement for change and transformation in two participatory action research projects. Based on a common thematic axis, educational transitions, the construction process and the methodological development of participation are explored…

Participatory research is one pathway for advancing the agenda of autistic advocates; however, little is known about the attitudes and values of autism researchers toward participatory research. This is a participatory research mixed-methods study of 215 survey respondents and 21 interviewees, all corresponding authors of published autism research…

Community-based research models hold potential to change who conducts geoscience research, its relevance to the public, and how researchers may begin to address historical injustices. However, this potential is contingent on such projects being led in ways that meaningfully and equitably bridge the worlds of scientists and community stakeholders.…

Background/purpose: Unethical research conduct, particularly resource harvesting and neglecting knowledge holders, persists despite global regulations. Whether deliberate or unintentional, this outcome precipitates data exploitation, erosion of trust, and non-compliance among the individuals involved. The current study emphasizes the consciousness…

Traditionally, absenteeism has been understood as a problem that requires individualised punitive measures. However, more recent studies have highlighted the importance and coherence of tackling it through community-based approaches in which the entire educational ecosystem is involved and participates. This article describes the methodological…

Objectives: Existing youth mental health services are unable to meet a rising demand for care. Changes are required to align care with young people's needs and priorities. In this paper, we present a case study examining the developmental stages of a community-based participatory research project in which young people and professional stakeholders…

Purpose: The literature review explores how multidisciplinary approaches based on critical pedagogy and participatory research can provide frameworks for equitable partnerships and genuine participation in educational design and research practices. Additionally, the essay aims to expand understandings of equitable engagement within educational…

Ending projects -- in whatever form that takes -- is a known area of difficulty for research that involves designing and implementing technologies with community partners. The ending process is particularly salient to underserved and marginalized communities and populations. This dissertation explores the project ecosystem and power dynamics in…

Studies using co-design methods require the meaningful involvement of stakeholders in creating new knowledge and harnessing, mobilising, and transferring existing knowledge to support comprehensive and long-term solutions. In the health sector, co-design methodology is seen as a way of supporting and engaging local communities in critical…

A key component of community-based research is the development of research-practice partnerships (RPP) with community-based partners. These partnerships are often developed with adults (e.g., community-based organizers) outside of higher education institutions (Farrell et al., 2021). This approach to RPP development may exclude youth contributions…

This article argues for the beneficial interconnectedness of adult basic education as an educational practice, community-based participatory research as a methodological approach, and the framework of transformative learning, for exploring and theorizing about adult learning and education. It is elaborated that these three approaches are connected…

This article speaks to the challenge of public land-grant universities addressing public need through community--academic partnerships and presents a case study to explain and illustrate these challenges. Included in this approach is the acknowledgment that as universities strive to bring the community perspective to their knowledge production,…

In the context of rising global displacement and the politicization of humanitarian assistance, refugee health disparities are worsening due to trauma, stigma, and limited access to health and social services. Structural oppression, rooted in state policies and dominant nationalist narratives, perpetuates these inequities, which are often…
