    International collaboration for changing the culture of research: The UNESCO Chair in community-based research and social responsibility in higher education
    (Autonomie Locali e Servizi Sociali, 2020-04-01) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, Rajesh
    This paper traces the development of the UNESCO Chair in Community-Based Research and Social Responsibility in Higher Education, established through the long-standing collaboration of Budd Hall and Rajesh Tandon. It explains how the Chair promotes community-based participatory research by strengthening partnerships between universities, civil society organizations, and local communities across the Global South and the excluded North. This work includes global studies, open-access publications, international networks, and the K4C Consortium. Engaged research also supports the SDGs by fostering knowledge co-creation and socially responsible, locally grounded higher education. The paper argues that transforming research culture demands collaboration, knowledge democracy, and closer academia-community links to tackle social and environmental challenges.

    Strengthening community university research partnerships: Global perspectives
    (University of Victoria and PRIA, 2015-08) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, Rajesh; Tremblay, Crystal
    Universities everywhere are being called to engage more closely with the communities around them. This book looks at what that actually means in practice. Bringing together perspectives from fifty countries and case studies from twelve, it explores how reciprocal research partnerships are built, supported, and sustained. The chapters show both the opportunities and the tensions of collaboration, and suggest how such partnerships can strengthen knowledge democracy while reshaping the role of higher education. By tracing patterns across regions, the book highlights the policies and structures that make engagement possible, while also pointing to the deeper cultural shifts that such collaboration demands.
