A professional text written for social science researchers and
practitioners, "Research, Actionable Knowledge and Social Change"
provides strategies and frameworks for using social science
research to engage in critical social and educational problem
solving. Combining the best practices of critical analysis and
traditional research methods, this professional text offers
guidance for using the Action Inquiry Model (AIM), a transformative
model that explains how to successfully conduct action-oriented
research in a multitude of professional service organizations. The
aim of the text is to encourage a new generation of research-based
partnerships reforms that promote equity and access for underserved
populations. Topics discussed include: The historical precedents
for universities engaged in social change The limitations of
current social science theory and methods The critical-empirical
approach to social research The issues relating to social justice
within the policy decision process The use of social research to
integrate an emphasis of social justice into economic and policy
decision making "Research, Actionable Knowledge and Social Change"
does not propose different foundations for social research, but
rather argues that it is necessary to reconsider how to work with
theory and research methods to inform change. This text can also be
used by students enrolled in graduate and Ed.D/Ph.D Higher
Education Leadership programs and graduate programs across
professional fields including K-12, public administration,
sociology, health, cultural studies, organizational development and
organizational theory. It further offers students guidance for
research design and dissertation research."
