Research Justice

"A sharp reminder of the absence of political discourse and of the values of social justice." - Journal of Social Policy

"Research Justice is a powerful book presenting alternative research approaches that actively incite social change at micro and macro levels." International Journal of Social Research Methodology

“I would recommend it to anyone studying research methods or ethics.” LSE Review of Books

“Exquisite, contemplative and urgent examination of the ways we can implement more equitable, community-oriented research methodologies that amplify the voices and experiences of the historically marginalized and disenfranchised.” Bonnie Duran, University of Washington

"As a long-time CBPR practitioner, I loved how Research Justice re-appropriates research as a space for love, reflexivity, cultural revitalization, community voice and power, and social transformation. Our imaginations are indeed inspired!" Nina Wallerstein, University of New Mexico
