The Interdisciplinary Research Leaders (IRL) Program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, in collaboration with the Journal of Participatory Research Methods (JPRM), is thrilled to announce the publication of a special issue on "How Communities and Research Institutions Work Together to Dismantle Structural Racism and Advance Health Equity."
The issue contains 15 articles addressing the challenges and successes involved in research prioritizing meaningful community collaboration and shared leadership between those in research and community settings. The articles come from a wide range of U.S. geographies, from California's Central Valley to rural Missouri to urban Boston, and describe a variety of participatory research methods used to address structural issues such as housing equity or barriers to health care, for an array of communities, including immigrant or minoritized communities, women, children, youth, and disinvested urban and rural communities.
The authors include current IRL fellows, IRL alumni, and other community-based researchers focused on conducting community-engaged, action-oriented research to reduce/eliminate structural racism and make progress toward health equity. You can find this special issue at https://jprm.scholasticahq.com/issue/10601-vol-5-issue-2-2024.
Please share with your own networks and social media! We hope you find this issue inspiring and helpful!
