Cooperative Research

How can social researchers move beyond studying organisations, movements and communities to working alongside them as equal partners?This edited collection draws on participatory, feminist and decolonial traditions to develop the idea of cooperative research as something done with people, not just about them. Contributors from across the social sciences share valuable reflections and guidance on how this approach can help researchers to craft socially meaningful research and effectively navigate fieldwork challenges. A grounded, ethical case for research that treats the people it studies as partners, not subjects.
