Community-Based Research
“CBR is a partnership of students, faculty and community members who collaboratively engage in research with the purpose of solving a pressing community problem or effecting social change.”
-Strand, et al, 2003
![Page 9: Community-Based Learning: Intro to S-L and CBR Brenda Marsteller Kowalewski Community Involvement Center, Co-Director Professor, Sociology CBL Faculty](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e0e5503460f94af7c4e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CBR is a collaborative enterprise between researchers and community members.
CBR involves the democratization of knowledge
CBR has as its goal social action and social change for the purpose of achieving social justice (Strand et al., 2003: p. 8).
