Description

This presentation, given by Elyssa Lewis of UC Davis, discusses factors that influence power and how the dynamics between them can impact research.

Some things to consider:

  • The history and context of the location and community in which the research is taking place
  • Relationship between researcher and community
  • Who determines what is valuable/meaningful results of the research
  • Participatory research methods becoming increasingly popular
