The concept of community-led research has taken off in recent years in a variety of fields, from archaeology and anthropology to social work and everything in between. Drawing on case studies from Australia, the Pacific and Southeast Asia, this book considers what it means to participate in community led research, for both communities and researchers. How can researchers and communities work together well, and how can research be reimagined using the knowledge of First Nations peoples and other communities to ensure it remains relevant, sustainable, socially just and inclusive?

Reviews for Community-Led Research: Walking New Pathways Together

'Community-led Research' collects an important, interdisciplinary range of contributions that each work towards addressing the stated aim of shifting the balance of academic power from researcher led studies to those which are conceived of, shaped and driven by research communities ... This is an important read for all researchers, including archaeologists, whether they routinely work with communities or not. It will challenge existing practice and encourage new ways of conducting research, one where the researcher no longer takes primacy.' -- Jordan Ralph * Australasian Historical Archaeology *
