Community-Based Politics

Résumé fourni par la source

Abstract This chapter focuses on community struggles and their relations to academic research and shows that co-production of knowledge often emerges from community struggles but becomes co-opted through dominant institutions that capture the benefits of transdisciplinary processes. Instead of supporting the livelihoods of communities and transformative change, transdisciplinary research therefore produces at times institutional legitimation through merely symbolic appeals to “inclusion” and “diversity.” Taking these challenges into practice, this chapter focuses on community-based action research on conservation policy, science education, and farming practices. This chapter shows how community-based research can (but also often fails to) support community struggles while navigating tensions with institutional realities of academic research.
