Collaboration in community research

Samenwerking in buurtonderzoek

Abstract

This paper presents insights on collaboration in community research based on discussions at the 2009 conference Research and Social Work in Urban Areas: Two Birds of a Feather. In particular, it considers several important issues regarding collaboration: finding a balance between dissensus and consensus; guaranteeing adequate implementation and valorization; organizing research teams as learning communities; recognizing, respecting, and coping with the different roles of researchers; and involving residents as co-researchers. This paper examines these issues within the framework of the shift from a socio-economic approach to a socio-cultural approach that has resulted in both a revival of community work and a discourse on community work research.

Dit artikel is gebaseerd op een tweedaags debat over samenwerking in buurtonderzoek tijdens de internationale conferentie Two Birds of a Feather in Antwerpen in 2009. Na een inleidend deel dat de toenemende interesse in buurtwerk en buurtonderzoek verklaart vanuit een verschuiving van sociaal economische naar meer sociaal-culturele benaderingen, gaat het artikel in op een vijftal kernthema's in samenwerking in buurtonderzoek, te weten de balans tussen consensus en dissensus, de borging van implementatie en valorisatie, onderzoeksteams als lerende teams, de erkenning, het respecteren en omgaan met verschillende rollen van onderzoekers in buurtonderzoekteams, en het betrekken van bewoners als mede-onderzoekers.
