Abstract

This paper presents insights on collaboration in community research based on discussions at the 2009 conference Research and Social Work in Urban Areas: Two Birds of a Feather. In particular, it considers several important issues regarding collaboration: finding a balance between dissensus and consensus; guaranteeing adequate implementation and valorization; organizing research teams as learning communities; recognizing, respecting, and coping with the different roles of researchers; and involving residents as co-researchers. This paper examines these issues within the framework of the shift from a socio-economic approach to a socio-cultural approach that has resulted in both a revival of community work and a discourse on community work research.
