MSPI 5020G - Interdisciplinary Theory and Practice: Community Engaged Research


The course focuses on community-engaged and community-based research, a broad constellation of research approaches that share the premise that members of researched communities are best positioned to identify the injustices they experience and the social change they need. Community-engaged research takes myriad forms, cutting across disciplinary boundaries, meaning that lessons learned from community engagement can apply to the full range of theoretical and methodological approaches available to students for their Major Research Projects. Students will construct their own interdisciplinary approach to a research question or problem arising from the points of contact between the three fields that anchor the program: Communication and Digital Media Studies, Legal Studies, and Political Science. Students will work together and independently to develop new intersections across these fields, working toward articulating informed, engaging, and creative social practices.
