[...] Posted by dlende on May 15, 2010 I wanted to provide a handy list of the posts that my Notre Dame students wrote based on their community-based research last fall. Much of this work has built on previous efforts, and you can read about my approach to community-based research (including a fun video!) and find links to published articles and earlier student work in the post Community Based Work and the Importance of Being Integrative.

It’s really impressive work. You should be very proud of it, Daniel. As Greg said, it’s a really moving video that attests to the impact that we as academics can really have in our local communities (and beyond as the veterans group organizer indicated) when we engage in this kind of work. The level of engagement and energy in your collaborators, the students, and the community really shines through and motivates me to consider doing something comparable. Thanks for posting it!

Daniel –
Wow. ummm… wow. What a rush to see this video, to see some familiar faces, and to remember this strength of Notre Dame. What a fantastic testimony to the power of this mode of dealing with community-based research, from your example of community consultation, to the student involvement, to the collaborative agenda-setting, to the use of non-traditional forms of publishing (like sharing results with us here).

The whole video was really moving, but I was especially struck by the comments of the veteran who discussed the ways that electronic publishing helped him to feel that his project was reaching a public. It’s certainly one of the satisfactions that I feel from publishing here, the evidence that someone is at least glancing at the pages, when traditional publishing can often seem to echo off into the void. I had never really considered, however, how this satisfaction might be shared with our research partners, informants, and collaborators.

But overall, I’m just so impressed and moved. I’m going to be sharing the video around with colleagues who are interested in community-based research. It’s a ringing testimony to what is possible and the positive effects it can have on everyone involved — students, community members, and us, the academic partners. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Greg
