RESEARCH
JUSTICE

Research Justice is a strategic framework that seeks to transform structural inequities in research. 

 

It centralizes and affirms historically marginalized community voices and supports local capacity-building in an effort to facilitate genuine, lasting social change.

 

Unlike conventional research methods, Research Justice employs strategies to deepen community engagement. Residents learn to use research as a tool to elevate their expertise, amplify their voices, and lead change in their community.
