Name three pitfalls that crash community-engaged academic work
and how to fix them
Greensboro, NC is a city of newcomers and the state’s
#1 refugee resettlement location for decades. Over 100
languages are spoken in Guilford County Schools.
We work a lot with “hard to reach” communities like refugees
and immigrants.
We don’t want
drive by
parachute
helicopter
research.
We do want
research that
benefits & empowers
our communities.
CES = Community Engaged Scholarship
CBPR = Community Based Participatory Research
CBPR is hard to do because it has many moving parts. It
involves parties outside the professor’s control. It happens in
real time, not campus time. It is practice, not theory.
We say CBPR is worth doing because it combines 2 powerful
High Impact Practices,
research
and
service learning.
Service Learning puts a brake on harmful research.
Service Learning supports CBPR success.
Cultural insiders put a brake on harmful research.
Cultural insiders support CBPR success.
Cultural insider,
culturally competent
Cultural insider,
culturally and linguistically competent
We want CBPR which is not…
boorish
unreflective
culturally insensitive
racist
socially unjust
We want CBPR which is…
respectful (etiquette)
reflective
culturally competent
anti-racist
socially just
We want students skilled in...
etiquette
reflection
cultural competency
anti-racism
social justice
Intermission
Ugh.
Ugh #1
Must we have
community partners?
Ugh #2
Teaching social justice
is nice but jobs are
more important.
Ugh #3
I don’t want a bad
reputation if this fails.
Ugh. Things profs say.
There are always thousands of reasons not to.
Most faculty take pride in their students’ success.
CBPR helps them realize student success.
Still, faculty need training in...
etiquette
reflection
cultural competency
anti-racism
social justice
A word about cultural
competency...
It is not “anti-racism lite”
or a more palatable form
of anti-racism training.
