Research in Action Webinar: Research Models for Liberation
OVERVIEW
Centering community in research requires intentional frameworks that disrupt top-down approaches. What steps can your organization or institution take to ensure your research and evaluation work is led by community expertise—and results in actionable outcomes for racial justice? In our September webinar, we explored RIA’s Equity in Action model and the five liberatory research principles of Liberatory Research, which strategically embed those most impacted as research project leaders and architects. In this conversation, Dr. Brittany Lewis, founder and CEO of Research in Action — as well as author of the new book “Building a New Table: A Community-Centered Handbook for Transformative Social Change” — and Dr. Zuri Tau, founder and CEO of Social Insights Research and Liberatory Research, shared real-world examples and tangible processes and practices you can apply to your work no matter your sector or issue to create more authentic engagement and more effective outcomes.
