New from Metropolitan Universities Journal

Vol. 34 No. 5 (2023): Developing and Sustaining Institutional Support for Community-Engaged Research

Guest editors: Emily Zimmerman, Ph.D., and Sarah Raskin, Ph.D., Virginia Commonwealth University

Community-engaged research is a critical component of the community engagement landscape, as well as broadening the research enterprise at urban campuses to include communities. Creating the essential infrastructure to support this work requires new ways of thinking about the role of institutions and interdisciplinary programs in community engagement, research development, and research support. Applying the models and frameworks in this issue can provide approaches for campuses to strengthen and commit to community-engaged research in strategic ways.

Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) is, “a partnership approach to research that equitably involves community members, organizational representatives, and academic researchers in all aspects of the research process. It enables all partners to contribute their expertise, with shared responsibility and ownership; it enhances the understanding of a given phenomenon; and, it integrates the knowledge gained with action to improve the health and well-being of community members, such as through interventions and policy change” (Israel, Schulz, Parker, and Becker, 1998).

The Honey W. Nashman Center for Civic Engagement and Public Service supports CBPR through faculty mini-grants, student research prizes, and professional development programs like Faculty Learning Communities (FLC).

This collection of resources is the outcome of the 2022 FLC on CBPR in Health and the 2019 FLC on CBPR Basics.

GW is a member institution in the TRUCEN network.

From TRUCEN:

We’re excited to announce a new TRUCEN program–TRUCEN Showcases.

TRUCEN Showcases are in-person campus-hosted convenings focused on specific topics, issues, or opportunities that advance civic and community engagement within R1 institutions.  These convenings can range from 1-3 days and are intentionally flexible to allow for campus-hosts to design an experience that addresses their interests and capacity.

We want to host our first TRUCEN Showcase in late 2023 or January 2024.  Are you interested in hosting this year or in the future?  Reach out to Bobbie at blaur@compact.org to explore your idea and discuss the next steps.  Priority consideration for hosting the 2023/January 2024 Showcase will be given to those that reach out before August 7th.

GW professor Jihae Cha hosts a storytelling camp to give youth with refugee backgrounds a chance to navigate their identity and sense of belonging. Read more from GW Today
For the past decade, Cha has focused much of her research on education in emergencies and protracted crises with the goal of exploring both challenges and opportunities that exist in education for youth in exile.  

 

“My research always comes out of necessity from the field,” Cha said. “I asked [Paw], ‘What do you really want to do?’ She told me she wants to invite youth in the community to know the importance of self-expression and finding that greatness.”

After some planning, the result was a two-day intensive writing workshop in August 2022 where participants were encouraged to explore themes of identity and open up about the struggles of navigating a sense of belonging as immigrants in the United States.
