Policy Press Co-producing Research: A Community Development Approach (Connected Communities)

Offering a critical examination of the nature of co-produced research, this important new book draws on materials and case studies from the ESRC funded project `Imagine – connecting communities through research’. Outlining a community development approach to co-production, which privileges community agency, the editors link with wider debates about the role of universities within communities and discuss what co-production between community groups and academics can achieve.
