Reconsidering Power in Community University Research Partnerships Through the Lens of Knowledge Cultures

In this contribution we explore the notion of knowledge cultures (KC) in the context of community university research partnerships (CURP), a particular institutional arrangement not previously examined in the literature on KC. Starting with a review of how KC have been conceptualized in various contexts, we develop an analytical framework that accounts for the tensions and conflicts that may emerge between CURP partners stemming from uneven power dynamics. Our analysis emphasizes the knowledge processes existing in diverse settings and geographical regions, extending beyond Western academia.
