Gateways

Aims & Scope

Gateways: International Journal of Community Research and Engagement is an open access, refereed journal that responds to an emerging global movement of collaborative, critical and change-oriented community-university research initiatives.

Gateways provides an inclusive forum for faculty, staff, students, professional practitioners and community representatives to explore issues and reflect on methodological practices relating to the full range of engaged activity.

Articles include empirical case studies; analyses of partnership models, practices and processes; and theoretical reflections that contribute to the scholarship of engagement.

A central aspect of community-based research and practice is that it seeks to drive change - social, intellectual, institutional.

As such, Gateways encourages innovative, mutually beneficial and culturally competent research approaches to conceptualising, designing, undertaking and communicating engaged research.

Articles will not only bridge disciplinary boundaries but will seek to challenge traditional binaries of academic and non-academic knowledge systems by rigorously combining different ways of knowing and being.

Gateways welcomes articles that articulate and interrogate the complex tensions that exist between theory and practice, and between the various participants in the research enterprise, as well as advance the value of research that is driven by need as much as curiosity.

Further, Gateways is avowedly international in scope, actively seeking to make the journal a space for diverse voices and perspectives, in multiple forms and modes and from across different geographies.
