    Research for impact approaches in CLARE: Bridging science and action
    (International Development Research Centre, 2024) Rawden, Laura; Carter, Suzanne
    Achieving research impact in the adaption and resilience field requires novel and inclusive approaches that can lead to transformational impact. This working paper provides insight into the methods being used by 19 research projects under the CLARE programme. The approaches mentioned here are not exhaustive but reflect on five broad types of approaches, namely: Co-creation labs, climate risk narratives, visual storytelling, citizen science, and behavioural science and psychology. Specific examples from each project are provided, detailing the problems they are seeking to address, the tools and methods applied as well as the communities and stakeholders they are working with to find joint solutions. Some early results are shared in the form of mini case studies, pointing to the effectiveness of the approaches.

    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 L
    While 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.

    Background document for the University of Victoria Task Force on civic engagement
    (University of Victoria, 2017-09-15) Dragne, Cornelia
    The 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.

    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, Ulrich
    La 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.

    Community engagement: A critical guide for practitioners
    (2017-05) Shaw, Mae; Crowther, Jim
    The motivation for this critical guide to community engagement comes primarily from our experience over many years as teachers on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes of community education. These programmes have historically been validated both by the university and the appropriate professional body, so they are firmly located at the interface between academic and vocational standards; between theory and practice. We have found that these different, sometimes contradictory, demands create a productive dynamic which has been at the core of our teaching, our writing and our relationships with the broader field of practice. We consider that an engagement with significant theoretical frameworks, an awareness of important historical traditions and an empathetic identification with the social reality of marginalized groups are all necessary in order to practise critical community engagement.
