    University of Victoria task force on community-based research: Towards a structure for community-based research University of Victoria: Phase II
    (2005) Keller, Peter; Hall, Budd L
    This document was prepared by the University of Victoria Task Force on Community-Based Research, co-led by Peter Keller and Budd L. 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.

    "All means All": Social movement learning and the inclusion movement
    (2010) Hall, Budd L; Hall, Richard
    In 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.

    Call for Afro-centric theory and practice in community based research and engagement closing remarks to African regional conference on university-community partnerships in Dakar, March 25-26, 2011
    (2011-03-26) Hall, Budd L
    In these closing remarks to the African Regional Conference on University-Community Partnerships, held in Dakar in March 2011, Budd L. Dr. Hall argues that community-based research and engagement have African roots. He opens with a poem, “Creation Song”, and then recalls African thinkers and activists, including Senghor, Cissé, Kane, Diop, Nyerere and Cabral, whose work laid the ground for participatory research. Hall also points to the damage done to African higher education by World Bank policies and by the recruitment of African students into northern universities. He calls for universities in Africa that rest on African history, knowledge and languages, and for an Afro-centric theory and practice of community-based research and engagement.

    Learning to listen: Foundations of teaching and facilitating of participatory and community based research
    (University of Toronto Press, 2014) Hall, Budd L
    This chapter by Budd L. Hall was published in Learning and Teaching Community-Based Research: Linking Pedagogy to Practice, edited by Catherine Etmanski and Teresa Dawson. Hall looks back on how he learned and later taught participatory and community-based research (CBR). It draws on his early work in Tanzania in the 1970s, where the evaluation of a health education campaign exposed the limits of conventional survey methods. The chapter outlines five learning objectives: knowing who we are, learning to listen, the centrality of values and commitment, openness to multiple ways of creating and representing knowledge, and the meaning of action. It uses exercises like the Power Flower and poetry to help students listen better. The chapter concludes that CBR is a set of principles rather than a fixed method and that its results should belong to the community.

    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 L
    The 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.

    The knowledge for change consortium: A decolonising approach to international collaboration in capacity-building in community-based participatory research
    (Canadian Journal of Development Studies / Revue canadienne d’études du développement, 2021-11-11) Lepore, Walter; Hall, Budd L; Lepore, Walter
    Two questions guide this work: (1) How can academics and community-based knowledge workers contribute to the achievement of the UN SDGs through the co-creation of knowledge that is locally contextualised and globally significant? (2) What are the practical challenges of creating university-community research and training partnerships aimed at developing research skills and capacities that will help address the UN SDGs through participatory approaches to knowledge creation? We answer these questions by analysing the Knowledge for Change (K4C) Consortium on training community-based participatory research. We present lessons and challenges associated to the development of K4C and provide recommendations to help create effective community-university research partnerships that contribute to the attainment of the UN 2030 Agenda.

    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.

    Bridging knowledge cultures: Rebalancing power in the Co-Construction of knowledge
    (Brill, 2024) Lepore, Walter; Hall, Budd L; Tandon, Rajesh
    Establishing truly respectful, mutually beneficial, and equitable knowledge creation partnerships with diverse communities poses significant challenges for academia. Bridging Knowledge Cultures provides valuable insights into the dynamics involved and the obstacles encountered when attempting to establish meaningful research partnerships between different knowledge domains. This book goes beyond exploration by offering practical recommendations to overcome these challenges and forge effective collaboration between mainstream research institutions and community groups and organizations. This book includes ten compelling case studies conducted by research and training hubs established through the global Knowledge for Change Consortium. These case studies encompass community-university research partnerships across various geographical locations, tackling a wide range of societal issues and acknowledging the wealth of knowledge created by local communities. The overarching goal of this book is to inspire the next generation of researchers and professionals to embrace the richness of diverse perspectives and knowledge cultures. By advocating for the construction of "bridges" through practical approaches, the book encourages a shift from competition to collaboration in research. Ultimately, it aims to foster an environment where different forms of knowledge can intersect and thrive, leading to a more inclusive and comprehensive understanding of the world around us.

    Participatory research: Where have we been, where are we going? – A dialogue
    (UCL IOE Press, 2017-07) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, Rajesh
    Rajesh Tandon and Budd Hall, the UNESCO Co-Chairs in Community-Based Research, have worked together on the theory and practice of participatory research since they first met in Caracas, Venezuela in 1978. This article is a conversation between the two of them that took place in New Delhi, India in 2015. It covers the creation of the concept of participatory research, a coming to awareness of the importance and power of local knowledge, the creation of the International Participatory Research Network and their thoughts on some of the challenges facing community and academic partners today. Of note is the fact that the early roots of participatory research were found in the global South, specifically in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Of further interest is the fact that for the first 20 to 25 years, participatory research was a discourse located almost entirely outside formal academic circles but rather in social movement structures and civil society circles.
