E-book
on ‘Knowledge & Engagement: Building Capacity for the Next Generation of
Community Based Researchers’, is NOW AVAILABLE!
The UNESCO Chair in
Community Based Research & Social Responsibility in Higher Education is
pleased to present it’s next open access publication; an e-book titled
‘Knowledge & Engagement: Building Capacity for the Next Generation of
Community Based Researchers.’
This book
summarizes the main findings of a global study titled ‘Building the Next
Generation of Community-Based Researchers’ (a.k.a. the Next Gen project),
funded by the Social Science and Human Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). The
overall objective of the Next Gen project was to increase access to high
quality training in Community-Based Research (CBR) within higher education
institutions (HEIs) and civil society organizations (CSOs). This project aimed
to understand the current state-of-the art in pedagogies and strategies for
building CBR capacities, and to work towards the strengthening of the existing
training fieldwork and the theoretical and curricular content on participatory
research within and outside the academia.
This book outlines
a number of important trends, approaches and challenges in the field of
training the next generation of researchers in CBR; through a comparative
analysis of 21 institutional case studies of CBR training providers from around
the world. The book also includes the results of a global survey of training CBR
in HEIs & CSOs.
With over 40
contributing authors from all around the world,this is the first book of its
kind, which represents a collective effort to bring many note-worthy aspects
within one umbrella (i.e., ‘Community Based Research’), analyze the current
scenario and training opportunities, and provide recommendations with regard to
what can be done in the best possible manner.
