This book presents community-based research (CBR) as a promising new form of scholarship. Unlike traditional academic research, CBR is collaborative, change-oriented, and finds its research questions in the needs of communities. CBR combines classroom learning with social action in ways that can ultimately empower community groups to address their own needs and prepare students for active civic engagement. This book offers many practical suggestions for incorporating CBR into courses/curricula.
