This intensive course engages with theories, epistemologies, and methods of community-academic collaborations. It considers who determines research agendas, makes knowledge claims, and claims ownership over knowledge production. Finally, it asks whether and how to use the tools of the academy towards social justice. Students contribute their research skills to a project that benefits a community organization.

Prerequisite: Sociology 228 and Sociology 229 or consent of instructor.
