Southeast Community Research Center

We started the SCRC to advance the understanding and use of participatory methods. We, along with our partners (see especially, Project South), believe that the investigative and social power of research could advance the struggle of working people and marginalized communities to remake society so that it works for the majority of people.

Our brand of CBPR—an amalgam of science and politics—seeks, primarily, to assist communities and researchers in creating a more human and humane society. As we say in our mission statement, we’re about “community-centered knowledge as a tool for liberation.”
