What does community-engaged academic research mean to me?
“It means using the skills and tools I have developed through my training to facilitate research in ways that benefit the communities I am working with, including non-human animals, as well as to challenge institutional norms and values that reinforce inequity, colonialism and anthropocentrism.”
