In this episode, we delve into the pivotal role of community-engaged research in the environmental justice movement. We explore the insights and strategies presented in the recently released book, "Ground Truths: Community-Engaged Research for Environmental Justice," which offers a comprehensive guide for conducting impactful research and amplifying community voices. Our guest host, Zully Juarez, Senior Research and Policy Analyst at Just Solutions, speaks with the book's co-authors: Martha Matsuoka, Professor of Urban and Environmental Policy at Occidental College, Chad Raphael, Professor of Communication at Santa Clara University, and Carolina Prado, Assistant Professor of Latina/Latino Studies at San Francisco State University. Together, they discuss the book's objectives, the unique value of community-engaged research, and its critical role in advancing justice, public participation, and policy advocacy. Listen in for partical advice and inspiring examples of how this approach is driving meaningful change.
