Offering a unique set of case studies that invites readers to
question and reimagine the concept of community engagement, this
collected work provides an overview and analysis of numerous,
creative participatory research methods designed to improve
well-being at both the individual and societal level. In a world
where there are enormous differences in the wealth and health of
people, it is increasingly recognized that sustainable peace
requires both a broad---based public commitment to nonviolence
combined with noticeable increments in the wellbeing of people who
occupy the lowest socioeconomic strata of societies. This volume
focuses on the latter-how to use qualitative research methods to
improve well-being of research participants, and thus, the wider
society. The participatory research examples described in these
chapters are meant to encourage researchers, scholars, and
practitioners to question assumed knowledge about community
engagement research and practice, and to inspire social
justice-oriented scholarship. The cases studies and methods
portrayed are as varied as the situations and cultures in which
they take place. In most of the case studies, the personal is
linked to the political with a social justice imperative as
participants from marginalized communities express an understanding
of their own position within power hierarchies, deconstruct power
relations, and experience a sense of agency. In other instances,
the methods are no less participatory but the aim is more focused
on inner and outer harmony, psychological wellbeing, conflict
resolution and intergroup reconciliation. In all the cases studies,
there is a strong emphasis on methods in which community members
are at the center of efforts to promote social change. The methods
described include group storytelling, community arts, asset
mapping, dialogues, creative writing, embroidery, filmmaking,
Photovoice, "writing back" to power, and other means of engaging in
emancipatory praxis and promoting personal wellbeing. Taken
together, the chapters illustrate creative ways in which community
members, embedded in disadvantaged contexts, can engage in a
dynamic process that stimulates individual and collective agency.
Ultimately, this volume will provide readers with a deeper
understanding of a wide range of creative, qualitative research
methods, and will encourage establishment of an effective social
justice agenda essential to human wellbeing and sustainable peace.
