Research and the production and dissemination of knowledge is too often seen as an exclusively academic exercise, leaving out community-based engagements for social justice. This session, designed by the Public Science Project and the Morris Justice Project, will introduce a radical departure from conventional research in the form of “Sidewalk Science,” a community-based methodology. Participants will leave with strategies for using Sidewalk Science to develop and deepen collective community knowledge.
