Description
Research Justice Methodologies for Social Change by Andrew Jolivétte presents a radical approach to socially just, community-centred research. This book challenges traditional models for conducting social science research within marginalized populations, examining the relationships between research, knowledge construction, and political power/legitimacy in society. It introduces a new concept of Collective Ceremonial Research Responsiveness, envisioning equal political power and legitimacy for different forms of knowledge, including cultural, spiritual, and experiential. By exploring how these forms of knowledge intersect, the book offers insights into greater equality in public policies and laws that rely on data and research to produce social change. This unique analysis will be of interest to researchers and students across various disciplines, making it a valuable resource for those seeking innovative approaches to socially just research.
