Description

This text brings together academics, artists, practitioners and 'community activists' to explore the possibilities for and tensions of social justice work under the contemporary drive for community-oriented 'impact' in the academy. It explores the possibilities and tensions for social justice work that emerge from the collision of long-established community oriented research practices, an increased institutional emphasis on community co-production in the academy, and the ongoing critique of the key terms of these practices.
