Knowledge, Power & the Ethics of Engaged Scholarship

In January, the Department of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and the Center for Ethnic Studies hosted a webinar roundtable featuring interdisciplinary perspectives and firsthand accounts about the ethics of engagement and the politics of knowledge production. As universities are foregrounding and supporting engaged scholarship more than ever, it is crucial to take-up urgent questions about how to ethically go about such endeavors and related questions about knowledge production and its dissemination. Ethical engagements include practices that are multidirectional, going beyond simply extending the university into communities, or extractive models of outreach, engagement, and collaboration. Scholar-activists in fields such as Feminist Studies, Ethnic Studies, African and African American Studies, and Native and Indigenous Studies have long wrestled with the politics of knowledge production, asymmetrical power relations, and the ethics of engaged scholarship.

Engaged Scholars: Camille Quinn

As a mixed methodologist, I use community-based participatory research methods to engage adolescent girls as well as community and government partners who serve them to identify strengths-based approaches to promote their health and mental health and their crime desistance. To become a scholar of consequence who centers Black adolescent girls and young women involved with, or at risk of, involvement with the youth punishment system, I must partner fully with local and state organizations and government partners to conduct community engaged research that also transcends the classroom for students. Moreover, this population has been both understudied and underserved so amplifying their voices is warranted.
