“…A preferred method is community engaged participatory research (CEPR), a methodology used for the study of community ownership and sustainability. It builds on the knowledge resources of the community as a partnership between research institutions and community members, shares the findings of knowledge with all relevant stakeholders and applies it to the benefit of the community (Lazarus et al 2012). …”

This article is inspired by the need for research methods that would discover the interrelationships of reconciliation and culture, specifically analysing the behaviour of field researchers originating from different lifestyles or culture, observing and participating in the artful expressions of research subjects. The purpose of this article was to present an overview of research into poetics as a source of information that contributes to existing bodies of knowledge and the finding of practical solutions related to peace-building in African communities. The authors argued that knowledge could be discovered from various forms of poetics through sensuous participation and intellectual interpretation and could be applied to the process of reconciliation. In support of this argument, the research was conducted with the San, the First People of southern Africa, in the context of a broader research project that aims at finding and publishing theory for dispute resolution in Africa. The discussion contains a conceptual framework of philosophy and theories that elucidates the concepts of poetics, the aesthetic domain and its relevance to peace and reconciliation in Africa. The transdisciplinary research methodology borrows from ethnographic methodologies including sensuous scholarship and participant observation of ritualistic experiences. The authors conclude that the creative, ritualistic and artistic lifeworlds of communities, in or recovering from conflict situations, are deeply relevant to any real motion towards reconciliation and healing.

“…The following benefits of CBPR as a form of community engagement have been noted by Lazarus et al (2012): CBPR acknowledges power dynamics and fosters democratic practices; benefits knowledge development, particularly through the acknowledgement and integration of local community-embedded knowledges; supports local capacity building; and responds to real needs, resulting in sustainable community development. Minkler and Baden (2008) argue that, in addition to positive community development principles, CBPR results in more effective research.…”

“…Within universities, community engagement is an umbrella term which includes various professional and academic activities pursued in partnership with local communities, including service-learning, professional service, community-based research, and applied research. Such enactments include the following key characteristics: understanding and respecting the historical and current dynamics of the community; aligning community engagement with the community's own agendas; establishing appropriate and accountable structures and processes to include relevant and diverse participation; fostering engagement through optimal participation and community ownership throughout the process; and strengthening and sustaining communities (Attree & French, 2007;Herbertson, Ballesteros, Goodland, & Munilla, 2009;Lazarus et al, 2012;Popay, 2006;Rifkin, Lewando-Hundt, & Draper, 2000).…”

The Community Health Improvement Partnership (CHIP) model has supported community health development in more than 100 communities nationally. In 2011, four rural Oregon CHIPs collaborated with investigators from the Oregon Rural Practice-based Research Network (ORPRN), a component of the Oregon Clinical and Translational Research Institute (OCTRI), to obtain training on research methods, develop and implement pilot research studies on childhood obesity, and explore matches with academic partners. This article summarizes the experiences of the Lincoln County CHIP, established in 2003, as it transitioned from CHIP to Community Health Improvement and Research Partnership (CHIRP). Our story and lessons learned may inform rural community-based health coalitions and academicians who are engaged in or considering Community-based participatory research (CBPR) partnerships. Utilizing existing infrastructure and relationships in community and academic settings provides an ideal starting point for rural, bidirectional research partnerships.
