The distingished panel will reflect on their experience of community-centred research and lead discussion of issues relating to:

  • Community research frameworks and traditions - different ways of knowing
  • Participatory models of research agenda setting and governance - who decides?
  • Building research partnerships with communities - shifting paradigms: from community research subjects to community research partners
  • Negotiating mutual rights in research data - ownership, privacy, copyright, access, IP
  • Protocols and ethics - What constitutes ethical community research? How might communities be better engaged with university ethics regimes?
  • The transformative nature of community-centred research.
