Recently, Dr. Squires and other scholars published Is Collaborative, Community-Engaged Scholarship More Rigorous Than Traditional Scholarship? On Advocacy, Bias, and Social Science Research. In this article, “authors argue that collaborative, community-engaged scholarship (CCES) must meet high standards of rigor if it is to be useful to support equity-oriented, social justice agendas” (445). “In fact,” scholars “argue that CCES is often more rigorous than traditional scholarship” (445).
