"Well organized and well conceptualized, Learning and Teaching Community-Based Research strikes a good balance between theory and practical examples. The quality of the organization and of the writing, and the important and fascinating examples of practice, make this one of the most readable research texts I have ever come across." -- John Holst, College of Education, Leadership, and Counselling, University of St Thomas "Learning and Teaching Community-Based Research provides a rich array of cases of CBR that illustrate the field's breadth and diversity. With its focus on pedagogical approaches and challenges, the book makes an important contribution to the field of CBR." -- Shauna Butterwick, Department of Educational Studies, University of British Columbia

This collection is an unmatched source of information on the theory and practice of using CBR in a variety of university- and community-based educational settings.

Community-Based Research, or CBR, is a mix of innovative, participatory approaches that put the community at the heart of the research process. Learning and Teaching Community-Based Research shows that CBR can also operate as an innovative pedagogical practice, engaging community members, research experts, and students.

This collection is an unmatched source of information on the theory and practice of using CBR in a variety of university- and community-based educational settings. Developed at and around the University of Victoria, and with numerous examples of Indigenous-led and Indigenous-focused approaches to CBR, Learning and Teaching Community Based-Research will be of interest to those involved in community outreach, experiential learning, and research in non-university settings, as well as all those interested in the study of teaching and learning.
