Drawing on a growing consensus about the importance of community
representation and participation for ethical research, community
engagement has become a central component of scientific research,
policy-making, ethical review, and technology design. The diversity
of actors involved in large-scale global health research
collaborations and the broader 'background conditions' of global
inequality and injustice that frame the field have led some
researchers, funders, and policy-makers to conclude that community
engagement is nothing less than a moral imperative in global health
research. Rather than taking community engagement as a given, the
contributions in this edited volume highlight how processes of
community engagement are shaped by particular local histories and
social and political dynamics, and by the complex social relations
between different actors involved in global public health research.
By interrogating the everyday politics and practices of engagement
across diverse contexts, the book pushes conversations around
engagement and participation beyond their conventional framings. In
doing so, it raises radical questions about knowledge, power,
expertise, authority, representation, inclusivity, and ethics and
to make recommendations for more transformative, inclusive, and
meaningful community engagement. This book was originally published
as a special issue of the Critical Public Health journal.
