<p>Community-based research (CBR) is in high demand. More and more, communities and academic researchers are partnering in order to learn about and address real-world issues.<span id="more-6435"></span></p>
<p>CBR is being used to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Translate scientific knowledge into practice</li>
<li>Support organizing and movement building</li>
<li>Impact policy</li>
<li>Guide community and economic development</li>
<li>Foster learning and personal transformation</li>
<li>Build trust with communities harmed by past research</li>
<li>Improve organizations</li>
<li>Strengthen communities</li>
<li>Enrich our understanding of the world</li>
</ul>
<p>Today, we are wrestling with deep-rooted inequities and global challenges that defy simple answers. CBR can be a powerful way to address these challenges by harnessing our collective knowledge and resources. Unfortunately, not everything that goes under the name “community-based research” lives up to the promise. More support is needed to help this work flourish.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.partners.utah.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2021/05/CRC-Guidelines-May-12-2021.pdf">A new report from the Community Research Collaborative</a> offers advice for both community-based and campus-based people who want to do collaborative research. This report is an updated and revised version of the 2007 UNP report, <a href="https://www.partners.utah.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2016/09/Guidelines-for-Community-Based-Research2.pdf"><em>Guidelines for Community-Based Research</em></a>. This new version includes an expanded set of principles and integrates lessons learned from the growth of CBR over the last 15 years.</p>
<p>This is just the first step in a larger effort that will include the creation of a multilingual website, classes and trainings, and other resources.</p>
<p>The Community Research Collaborative brings together researchers, organizers, activists, and community leaders to advance participatory and action-oriented research in Utah. It is supported by University Neighborhood Partners in collaboration with the Bennion Center.</p>

<p><strong>Schools; Important, and Intense, Places</strong></p>
<p>Close up, schools house the classrooms and playgrounds in which our children figure out how to interact with each other. As we &#8216;zoom out,&#8217; we see schools&#8217; historical and current role as battlegrounds for broad-scale political and ideological conflict. Public schools are one of the few places where students from all kinds of experiential, socioeconomic, ethnic and racial, linguistic, and politically informed backgrounds come together, usually to spend days that look remarkably similar from one to the other, and in groups where acceptable behavior is narrowly defined. Teachers know the intensity of schools, as teachers bear daily witness to schools as both crucibles and consequences of dominant culture.</p>
<p>The intensity of the classroom experience impacts all teachers differently. Some discover how neighborhood segregation leads to wild variability from one school to another and choose schools with more resources. Some commit to working in poor communities and communities of color (which predictably overlap in the USA). For those who work in underserved communities, the opportunity to over-work is constant, as an individual can always do more against structural oppression. Teachers deal with this intensity in one of three ways: figure out how to be fully alive in their work anyway, stick with the job via numb disconnection, or leave the classroom.</p>
<p><strong>I Left the Classroom</strong></p>
<p>After 10 years of teaching in Title I, III, and IV classrooms, I was unable to sleep through the night without a school-related anxiety dream. My relationships in my personal life suffered. My body stopped making the stress hormone cortisol — I had run out. On leaving the classroom, I pursued a Master&#8217;s in Social Work, in part to understand what happened to me and how to prevent it.</p>
<p>The Trauma Informed Pedagogy program described in this report was inspired by the &#8220;Blessing the Paradigm&#8221; trauma-informed domestic violence training I took at the Urban Indian Center in 2018. 100% of the Native panelists mentioned public school as a source of trauma. This struck me; my teaching practice had hurt me, but I truly thought it had served students. Did my practice actually harm students? Understanding how &#8220;helping&#8221; practitioners cause harm pushed me to explore trauma neurophysiology, how harmful dominant culture can be disgused within &#8220;trauma-informed&#8221; ideas, and how to combine these ideas with liberation pedagogy for classrooms that heal instead of harm.</p>
<p>What followed were two years of working with UNP, educators, and community leaders to understand trauma, including cultural trauma, the role of schools, and the power educators have to regulate both their internal and external environments towards maximum student safety and liberation.</p>
<p>To learn more about the structure and impact of this work, please download the report.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>The Trauma Informed Pedagogy program is a partnership, led by Jess Cleeves, that includes University Neighborhood Partners, the Urban Institute for Teacher Education, the Center for Science and Math Education, the College of Social Work, the National Ability Center, and local community leaders. </em></p>

Millions of Americans need support from digital inclusion programs to get connected with affordable home internet, find affordable computing devices, and learn basic digital skills.</p>
<p><a href="https://services.slcpl.org/digital-navigators">The City Library’s new Digital Navigators</a> program is the latest way the Library is working to combat Salt Lake City’s “digital divide.” The program provides local residents with direct assistance to address their digital connectivity needs. The City Library recognizes the life changing significance of access to digital resources. A home internet connection opens up so many possibilities that some might take for granted: online healthcare, banking, applying for jobs, remote learning, and communicating with friends and family, just to name a few.</p>
<p>Digital Navigators can help connect people to free or low-cost internet service and devices and help with basic computer skills and training, including online privacy and security. Throughout the duration of this program, which will run through July of 2021, the Library will be working with <a href="https://www.partners.utah.edu">University Neighborhood Partners</a>, <a href="https://suazocenter.org/">Suazo Business Center</a>, and <a href="https://www.ccsutah.org/">Catholic Community Services</a>.&nbsp;</p>
<h5>My name is Rosalia Rosas and I am the Digital Navigator at unp.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-6293" src="https://www.partners.utah.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2021/03/UNP-Digital-Navigator-Flyer-300x194.png" alt="" width="438" height="282" srcset="https://www.partners.utah.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2021/03/UNP-Digital-Navigator-Flyer-300x194.png 300w, https://www.partners.utah.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2021/03/UNP-Digital-Navigator-Flyer-1024x662.png 1024w, https://www.partners.utah.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2021/03/UNP-Digital-Navigator-Flyer-768x497.png 768w, https://www.partners.utah.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2021/03/UNP-Digital-Navigator-Flyer-1536x993.png 1536w, https://www.partners.utah.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2021/03/UNP-Digital-Navigator-Flyer-2048x1324.png 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 438px) 100vw, 438px" /></h5>
<p>I was born in the state of California and came to Utah when I was 14-years-old so that my mom and stepfather could find jobs. We were sad to leave our friends and school in California, but my parents got jobs quickly. And, in a few years, their dream of buying a home came true. I graduated high school and got married, and my husband bought a house in Glendale. I have been living in the Glendale Community for about 14 years.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I have four kids and they went to Mountain View Elementary School and Glendale Middle School. I know many people in the Glendale community because I worked at Mountain View as a group leader in the afterschool program. I would help students with their homework and offer enrichment programs like computers, art, science, physical education, and music. I went on to become a teacher’s assistant in the kindergarten, and then a substitute teacher with Head Start. I have almost finished my Child Development Associates certificate to become a Head Start teacher.</p>
<p>I have been involved with UNP for about a year. I started working part time, running a small group doing activities with parents and their 4- to 5-year-old children in the UNP Hartland Partnership Center’s Head Start classroom. Then, because of COVID-19, I couldn’t do it anymore.</p>
<p>Now, I work as a Digital Navigator for UNP. I will be able to help families get computers and internet access at low or no cost. I can also help families learn to use computers and navigate the internet for work, school, and other things. I love doing this work because it gives me a chance to support my community.</p>
