Abstract
AbstractOur current systems for producing and using research are mired—as are all U.S. institutions—in a long history of racism, xenophobia, and a culture of paternalism. Fortunately, we are not beholden to maintaining those systems, and we can re‐imagine and re‐engineer the ways we approach research and what we seek to accomplish with it. Research–practice partnerships (RPPs) can play a unique and meaningful role in bringing research to bear on social justice for children and families, but the partnerships must be intentionally designed for those goals. In this essay, I discuss three design principles for RPPs: centering children marginalized by oppression, embracing historical perspectives, and contending with power asymmetries.
