Hall. It explains the background to Phase II of the work on creating a structure to support community-based research (CBR) at the university, starting with a 2005 forum that drew more than 80 academics. The document uses a three-part definition of CBR as collaborative, as democratising knowledge, and as aimed at social action and social justice. It then sets out the next steps in the consultation, including talking with community partners, reviewing models from elsewhere, recommending a steering committee, identifying networks and funding sources, and exploring UVic’s hosting of the 2007 Community-University Expo.Item "All means All": Social movement learning and the inclusion movement(2010) Hall, Budd L; Hall, RichardIn this paper, Budd L. Hall and Richard Hall reflect on social movement learning through a personal experience. It begins with a phone call in February 2011, when Richard learned that his health coverage in Arizona would end as part of cuts affecting about 230,000 people. The authors recall Budd’s earlier view that learning happens in social movements in three ways: through organised activity, through informal learning by members, and through the learning of people outside the movement. They then turn to the inclusion movement and its principle that “all means all”. Friends in the movement quickly connected the brothers with advocates and lawyers, and both learned fast. Richard reflects on how one person’s experience can grow into collective action.Item Gracias Companero: An appreciation of Orlando Fals Borda(SAGE Publications, 2008) Hall, Budd LI first met Orlando Fals Borda in April of 1977. He was standing in the lobby of an older colonial style hotel in the city of Cartagena, Columbia. He was sur-rounded by a group of very earnest younger and older Latin Americans who were holding very heated discussions about the nature of knowledge, the role of intellectuals in revolutionary change and the age-old question in times of need: 'What is to be done?". The occasion was a meeting of 56 scholar-activists from all over the world, whom Orlando Fals Borda had brought together to this Caribbean city of coastal Colombia to embark on a daring new idea: to break the positivist hold on science by means of recognizing channels of valid knowledge production by and with the common people, with the purpose of social recon-struction and participation. Some of those scholars had been working to these ends since the late 1960s outside of academic confines. Orlando traced his lineage in Participatory Action Research and related approaches from that meeting. At the time, I was a newly appointed research officer working with the International Council for Adult Education, fresh from five years working in Tanzania where a number of us began the work which we coined 'participatory research'. A number of us were working on the building of an international par-ticipatory research network and we needed Orlando's ideas and support to move our work forward.Item Despite knowledge democracy and community-based participatory action research: Voices from the global south and excluded north still missing(Sage Publications, 2015) Openjuru, George Ladaah; Jaitli, Namrata; Tandon, Rajesh; Hall, Budd LThe primary purpose for this special issue of Action Research Journal (ARJ) focusing on knowledge democracy, community-based participatory action research (CBPAR) was to draw attention to and raise debate about knowledge exclusion of and alternative forms of knowing in the global South as well as to bring to the fore the perspective of authors from the global South. We understand the global South to include the excluded epistemologies from the global North such as Indigenous Researchers from the First Nations People from Canada. Reflecting on the 12 submissions that were made for this special issue reveals how even within supportive knowledge and research paradigms that are meant to promote marginalized scholarships, the global South and excluded North still remains excluded.Item Doing participatory research: A feminist approach(Center for International Education, University of Massachusetts., 2000) Maguire, PatriciaIn this text the author traces her beginnings as a student researcher trying to understand the biases of traditional research by engaging in participatory research with a group of battered women in Gallup, New Mexico. Using Paulo Freire's concept of dialogue, Pat talks with former battered women in their kitchens, transcribes the interviews and presents the women in their own words. Together they move through a cycle of reflection and action, reaching for a solution to the problem-how to move forward after living with violent men. This highly creative work will involve the reader in theory and practice.Item The next gen project: A global study on training, teaching and learning community-based research (CBR)(The Canadia Association for the Study of Adult Education (CASAE), 2016-07) Lepore, Walter; Tandon, Rajesh; Hall, Budd LWhile policies and practices regarding the creation of structures to facilitate community-university research partnerships are emerging and there is a rich literature on methodology of CBR, little research has been done at a global level on the training opportunities for building capacities in CBR within universities and community organisations. This led the UNESCO Chair in CBR and Social Responsibility in Higher Education to undertake the Next Gen project to analyze the current state-of-the art in pedagogies and strategies for building CBR capacities. This paper synthesizes the main findings of the project and proposes a series of pedagogical principles for the training of CBR.Item Background document for the University of Victoria Task Force on civic engagement(University of Victoria, 2017-09-15) Dragne, CorneliaThe purpose of the report is to identify and review the best strategies used by other universities to coordinate their civic/community engagement practices, as they are reflected in the literature dedicated to the topic. The focus of the report is on North American universities. The report seeks to: 1)present a brief background on university-community engagement 2)identify universities that promote civic/community engagement, case studies of coordinating models in place 3)identify evaluation methodologies 4)identify principles and structures that could serve as a model for UVic, lessons learned and recommendations in the literature.Item De fracaso y frustración en el trabajo de campo: cómo asumir la ética de la representación en la investigación participativa [Of failure and frustration in field work —how to assume the ethics of representation in participatory research](Universidad Colegio Mayor de Cundinamarca, 2013) Oslender, UlrichLa investigación participativa ha vuelto a la agenda por estos días. Sin duda en la academia convencional ha cobrado mayor aceptación que por allá en la década de 1970, cuando Orlando Fals Borda y otros desarrollaron lo que se dio a conocer como Investigación-Acción Participativa (IAP). Los consejos de investigación muestran cada vez mayor interés en financiar propuestas de investigación en colaboración, al parecer deseosos de escuchar y aprender de las experiencias de grupos subalternos. Lo sorprendente quizás es que muchas de estas investigaciones se reinventan hoy sin referencia siquiera al trabajo pionero de Fals Borda y otros. Otra carencia en los debates metodológicos se refiere a la falta de enfrentar abiertamente problemas de fracaso, decepción o frustración que el académico-activista pueda haber experimentado en el trabajo de campo. En este artículo, quisiera reflexionar sobre una experiencia de investigación en colaboración en la que participé y considerar de manera crítica aquellas situaciones que generaron alguna decepción personal, mostrando así las limitaciones en el campo de la investigación participativa. Hasta ahora me he abstenido de escribir sobre esto, pues plantea problemas éticos significativos en la posible identificación de sujetos de investigación, que hacen parte de esta historia. Sin embargo, creo que es solo mediante el examen crítico y abordando los fracasos y las frustraciones de las agendas de investigación en colaboración que pueden evitarse tales disgustos en el futuro. Cómo escribir sobre estos fracasos es una cuestión que no se responde fácilmente.
