How can we engage communities? What is empowerment? To what extent
should the project process be participatory? How is an
outsider-insider relationship handled? How do researchers negotiate
with the hegemony of western cultural interpretations? How are
organizational and contextual influences handled in a project? What
leadership demands do such projects place on researchers? What is
capacity building? What are creative leaders and creative
communities? How does the researcher journey from their studio to
the situation? M² Models and Methodologies for Community
Engagement discusses key theoretical constructs — community
engagement, capacity building, and community empowerment — in
order to demonstrate how theory and practice are relevant to the
development of forms of community involvement. The book maps the
attributes of community based projects by moving beyond simply
bringing people together from a variety of disciplines, and taking
an approach which is transdisciplinary and applicable across
cultures and genres. Here, all people — including the community
— are ongoing contributors, and can freely move between their own
and others’ discipline-specific arenas. M² differs from and
extends on other works in this field of practice and research, in
that its transdisciplinary, collaborative approach positions the
community as a particular kind of discipline to create real change
in diverse locations and fields of experience. The book is in
itself a model of community engagement, as the researchers have
formed a community of research and practice for change, and have
developed a transformative model for community engagement that is
greater than the sum of its parts – hence M². M² offers a
valuable resource for students, researchers, academics,
practitioners, policy developers and volunteers from the fields of
architecture, interior architecture, health, planning,
anthropology, education, home economics, communication, political
studies and development studies.
