Scenario

When community-based research teams navigate competing validity frameworks

Our research team includes people from the community we're studying, and those of us with academic credentials keep defaulting to research methodologies that the community researchers think miss the point, but the university requires certain approaches for the findings to count. We're stuck between extractive academia and authentic community partnership.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A collaborative group must operate within systems that fundamentally undervalue some members' ways of knowing while claiming to seek inclusive knowledge creation.
