Item Item Beyond partnerships: Embracing complexity to understand and improve research collaboration for global development(2021) Fransman, Jude; Hall, Budd L; Hayman, Rachel; Narayanan, Pradeep; Newman, Kate; Tandon, RajeshWhile there is a burgeoning literature on the benefits of research collaboration for development, it tends to promote the idea of the ‘partnership’ as a bounded site in which interventions to improve collaborative practice can be made. This article draws on complexity theory and systems thinking to argue that such an assumption is problematic, divorcing collaboration from wider systems of research and practice. Instead, a systemic framework for understanding and evaluating collaboration is proposed. This framework is used to reflect on a set of principles for fair and equitable research collaboration that emerged from a programme of strategic research and capacity strengthening conducted by the Rethinking Research Collaborative (RRC) for the United Kingdom (UK)’s primary research funder: UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). The article concludes that a systemic conceptualisation of collaboration is more responsive than a ‘partnership’ approach, both to the principles of fairness and equity and also to uncertain futures.Item Editorial: Knowledge democracy for a transforming world(UTS ePress, 2020) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshThe past five decades have seen enormous, worldwide growth in, and appreciation of, knowledge democracy - the discourse which we have found best contains the various theoretical approaches, values and practices within which participatory research exists. This Introduction outlines our understanding of knowledge democracy, which can be expressed by a number of principles: (1) Recognition of a multiplicity of epistemologies and ways of knowing; (2) Openness to assembling, representing and sharing knowledge in multiple forms (including traditional academic formats and all manner of social and arts-based approaches); (3) Recognition that knowledge emerging from the daily lives of excluded persons is an essential tool for social movements and other transformational strategies; and the (4) Requirement to carefully balance the need to protect the ownership of communities' knowledge with the need to share knowledge in a free and open access manner. We are pleased to present five articles from around the world that broaden and deepen our understanding of knowledge democracy -from a theoretical perspective, a practice perspective, an ontological perspective, and an action or political perspective.Item The power of collaboration, creativity and art in knowledge mobilization: Reflections from international work(2020) Tandon, Rajesh; Hall, Budd LItem Against Epistemicide: Decolonising Higher Education(2020) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshItem The Knowledge for Change Consortium: a decolonising approach to international collaboration in capacity-building in communitybased participatory research(Canadian Journal of Development Studies, 2020) Lepore, Walter; Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshTwo questions guide this work: (1) How can academics and community-based knowledge workers contribute to the achievement of the UN SDGs through the co-creation of knowledge that is locally contextualised and globally significant? (2) What are the practical challenges of creating university-community research and training partnerships aimed at developing research skills and capacities that will help address the UN SDGs through participatory approaches to knowledge creation? We answer these questions by analysing the Knowledge for Change (K4C) Consortium on training community-based participatory research. We present lessons and challenges associated to the development of K4C and provide recommendations to help create effective community-university research partnerships that contribute to the attainment of the UN 2030 Agenda.Item La science ouverte au-delà du libre accès : Pour et avec les communautés(2020) Chan, Par Leslie; Hall, Budd; Tandon, Rajesh; Williams, LornaL'UNESCO a récemment lancé des consultations internationales visant à élaborer une recommandation sur la science ouverte qui sera adoptée par les États membres en 2021. Cette recommandation comprendra une définition commune, un ensemble de valeurs partagées et des propositions d'action. À l'invitation de la Commission canadienne pour l'UNESCO, ce document vise à contribuer au processus de consultation en répondant aux questions suivantes : • Pourquoi et comment la science devrait-elle être « ouverte » ? Pour qui et avec qui ? • S'agit-il simplement de mettre les articles et les données scientifiques à la disposition des chercheurs et chercheuses du monde entier au moment de leur publication, afin qu'ils et elles ne passent pas à côté de résultats importants qui pourraient contribuer à leurs travaux ou les accélérer ? • Cette ouverture pourrait-elle également permettre aux citoyennes et citoyens du monde entier de contribuer à la science avec leurs capacités et expertises, par exemple par le biais de la science citoyenne ou de projets de recherche-action participative ? • Une science véritablement ouverte inclut-elle une pluralité de modes de connaissance, y compris ceux propres aux cultures autochtones, aux cultures des pays du Sud et à d'autres groupes exclus et marginalisés dans le Nord global ?
