EJDR Commentary Collection on Research–Practice

04 August 2022

In her recent commentary in our journal, the European Journal of Development Research (EJDR), Katja Bender from the International Center for Sustainable Development at the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences reflects on Research-Practice Collaborations (RPCs) from a political-economic perspective. The commentary also addresses potential unintended adverse effects on knowledge generation due to divergent interests, incomplete information or the unequal distribution of resources, pointing out that asymmetries between actors may induce distorted and biased knowledge and even help produce or exacerbate existing inequalities. We've invited another series of commentaries to discuss her approach from various perspectives as compiled below.

On 10 November, 15.00 CET we will be holding an online-roundtable with authors of these commentaries. Watch this space for futher information and registration!
