Ciao, Stefania

/*The International Journal of Communication (IJoC),*/ in collaboration
with the Social Science Research* *Council (SSRC),* *has just published
a collection of essays featuring contributions from invited participants
to the IJoC/SSRC Forum on "Making Communication Research Matter."
These four essays explore how and why engaged research should be
conducted, with each one taking a unique approach and focusing on a
specific topic:
* Inquiry into how researchers can include and collaborate with
under-represented populations by asking the underlying question:
For whom should our research matter?
* Examination of how different roles―practitioner, academic, and
activist---can overlap and complement each other to support the
community radio cause in the policy arena.
* Analysis of the obstacles and methodological challenges of working
with grassroots activists that addresses the question of how
different organizational cultures can best talk to each other.
* Discussion of how personal and collective processes of reflection
and action can empower researchers and practitioners in
understanding dynamics of power and participation.
The articles constitute the building blocks of an epistemology of
engaged research. They are highly relevant for communications and media
scholars, as well as for students of social movements, policy and
governance, and methods for social research.
