Description:
Building on the pioneering radical approach of Research Justice: Methodologies for Social Change--a seminal text born out of the innovative work of the DataCenter: Research for Justice--this updated edition explores the nexus of research, power, and legitimacy, advocating for equitable knowledge construction.
Challenging traditional models, internationally recognized author Andrew J. Jolivétte offers a much-needed analysis of the intersections between Research Methods, Public Policy, Cultural Studies, Anthropology, Ethnic Studies, and Sociology. Complete with a new introductory chapter, the book champions diverse forms of knowledge, envisioning a future where cultural, spiritual, and experiential insights have equal impact on policy making.
Interdisciplinary and thought-provoking, this is a vital resource for scholars and students alike.
