Description
Universities are increasingly taking an active role as research collaborators with citizens, public bodies, and community organisations beyond their walls. Thousands of research collaborators, as well as the funders and institutions that are supporting them, are struggling to articulate the value of this work. This book addresses head on the key challenges in understanding and articulating the value of collaborative research in the arts, humanities and social sciences in particular.
Author Biography
Keri Facer is Professor of Educational and Social Futures at the University of Bristol and Leadership Fellow for the AHRC Connected Communities Programme. She works on the relationship between formal education, informal learning and the development of public capacity to address social, technological and environmental change. Kate Pahl is Professor of Literacies in Education, at The University of Sheffield. She worked on the Co-producing legacy project which explored how artists work within the AHRC Connected Communities programme and the AHRC/ESRC Connected Communities funded consortium 'Imagine', an interdisciplinary project concerned with ways in which communities and universities can co-produce knowledge together about the nature of civic engagement in contemporary societies.
Reviews"An inspirational and practical guide for deepening our understanding of the immediate impact and long-term legacy of collaborative research-an important resource for students, academic researchers, and practitioners." Mary Brydon-Miller, Teachers College, University of Cincinnati
