My research partner and I got a grant to study community health disparities, and the funding requires us to include community members as partners, not just subjects. But we're realizing we have no idea how to actually share power in research design when we're the ones who have to write the reports and our careers depend on the publications, and the community partners are starting to call out that the 'partnership' still looks a lot like extraction.
More people experience this than they realize.
Partners are confronting the gap between collaborative ideals and institutional realities that create unequal stakes in shared work.
