Research Justice: Methodologies for Social Change

Building on the pioneering radical approach of Research Justice: Methodologies for Social Change--a seminal text born out of the innovative work of the DataCenter: Research for Justice--this updated edition explores the nexus of research, power, and legitimacy, advocating for equitable knowledge construction.

Challenging traditional models, internationally recognized author Andrew J.

Complete with a new introductory chapter, the book champions diverse forms of knowledge, envisioning a future where cultural, spiritual, and experiential insights have equal impact on policy making.

Interdisciplinary and thought-provoking, this is a vital resource for scholars and students alike.
