“…Sonya Atalay (2010) proposes an activism that is “action‐based” and examines how community‐based participatory research programs can engage communities in heritage management and produce socially and intellectually relevant scholarship. For example, at the 9,000‐year‐old site of Çatalhöyük, Turkey, Atalay found that local constituencies were leery to collaborate because they needed a deeper understanding of archaeology itself.…”

In 2010, a rapidly growing body of public scholars continued to conduct engaged research that involved various forms of collaboration, advocacy, and activism. Practicing anthropologists are among the most powerful champions of engaged scholarship and are increasingly focused on tracing the concrete dimensions of public engagement. Practicing anthropologists in 2010 made a concerted effort to critically assess precisely what constitutes collaboration, engagement, activism, advocacy, and a host of similarly politicized but ambiguous terms. This self-reflection has probed the philosophical, political, and methodological dimensions of engagement and painted a rich and complex picture of practicing anthropology. In this article, I review those 2010 studies that are focused on critically defining an engaged anthropology and expanding it to rigorously four-field public scholarship with conscious and reflective politics.

“…8---13 These approaches have attraction because they can advance cocreation of the research, contribute culturally centered methods, and foster research capacity. 1,2,14,15 Although CEnR approaches have appeal, they still require governance to provide protection, oversight, guidance, legitimacy, and community benefit. Governance over CEnR is complex and involves numerous practices and policies.…”

Objectives. We explored the relationship of community-engaged research final approval type (tribal government, health board, or public health office (TG/HB); agency staff or advisory board; or individual or no community approval) with governance processes, productivity, and perceived outcomes. Methods. We identified 294 federally funded community-engaged research projects in 2009 from the National Institutes of Health’s Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Prevention Research Centers, and Native American Research Centers for Health databases. Two hundred (68.0%) investigators completed a survey about governance processes and productivity measures; 312 partners (77.2% of 404 invited) and 138 investigators (69.0% of 200 invited) completed a survey about perceived outcomes. Results. Projects with TG/HB approval had increased likelihood of community control of resources (odds ratios [ORs] ≥ 4.80). Projects with other approvals had decreased likelihood of development or revision of institutional review board policies (ORs ≤ 0.37), having written agreements (ORs ≤ 0.17), and agreements about publishing (ORs ≤ 0.28), data use (ORs ≤ 0.17), and publishing approval (ORs ≤ 0.14). Conclusions. Community-engaged research projects with TG/HB approval had strong stewardship of project resources and agreements. Governance as stewardship protects community interests; thus, is an ethical imperative for communities, especially native communities, to adopt.

“…In this context, community collaboration has led to the development of alternative heritage management strategies (see, for example, Byrne and Nugent 2004;Roberts et al 2015). In this paper, we recognize the primacy of Indigenous control of knowledge, access, and participation in a post-colonial setting following Atalay (2006Atalay ( , 2007Atalay ( , 2010Atalay ( , 2012, Greer (2014), McGhee (2012), Nicholas (2006), Smith and Jackson (2008), Smith and Wobst (2005), and Tipping (2013), who all advocate moving the discipline toward a decolonized practice. Australian archaeologists have increasingly considered Indigenous communities to be principal stakeholders, with the right to control information and access, suggesting that new practices of respect have superseded past colonial practices of dispossession.…”

Collaboration on Whose Terms? Using the IAP2 Community Engagement Model for Archaeology in Kapunda, South Australia

In this paper we adapted the International Association of Public Participation (IAP2) community engagement model and applied it to archaeological practice. The case studies are parallel historical archaeological projects undertaken near the town of Kapunda, 75 km north of Adelaide, South Australia. Whilst each project had distinctive separate aims and outcomes, they were both underpinned by a commitment to collaborative practice. The IAP2 model provided clear steps for engagement and helped mitigate problems from the outset. This opportunity to put collaborative theories into practice has resulted in genuine relationships being established between ourselves and community members, the reconnection of descendant families with their shared stories, and the revealing of other versions of the past that had been erased, consciously or unconsciously, over time. It has proved to us that academic research projects can be integrated with real collaborative practice.
