Community-based research (CBR) has evolved into a ‘research strategy of choice’ for the community sector and has increasingly established itself as a credible research approach in the academic sector.
With the increasing use and growing currency of CBR, Dr. Brenda Roche believes there is a need to revisit what has become the conventions of CBR, to consider how these are enacted in practice, and to embark on a more critical examination and attentiveness to the practices that shape CBR.
The time is ripe for a further significant evolution in CBR, and Wellesley Institute believes this research report will provide the initiative to chart these changes at both the community and academic levels.
