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

“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

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

“Research Justice is a must-read for researchers, students, and communities interested in using knowledge production to expose and critique systems and structures of injustice and unfairness to develop just and fair alternatives!” Marlon M. Bailey, Washington University, St Louis, author of Butch Queens Up in Pumps: Gender, Performance and Ballroom Culture in Detroit

“As a long-time CBPR practitioner, I loved how Research Justice reappropriates 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
