Research <strong>on</strong> Partnerships: Insights from<br />
Collaborati<strong>on</strong> with Philanthropy<br />
An innovati<strong>on</strong> in community engagement is the<br />
creati<strong>on</strong> of meaningful <strong>partnerships</strong> between<br />
practiti<strong>on</strong>ers, administrators, educators,<br />
government leaders, and local philanthropic<br />
organizati<strong>on</strong>s. This sessi<strong>on</strong> summarizes<br />
insights about <strong>partnerships</strong> based <strong>on</strong> a nati<strong>on</strong>al<br />
dem<strong>on</strong>strati<strong>on</strong> program. Fifty local <strong>partnerships</strong><br />
involving over 200 funders and more than<br />
450 community partners have been created to<br />
develop local soluti<strong>on</strong>s to a comm<strong>on</strong> problem. The<br />
partnership processes and experiences have been<br />
rigorously studied and evaluated through multiple<br />
methods. Less<strong>on</strong>s about establishing effective<br />
<strong>partnerships</strong> will be shared.<br />

Building Capacity for Reciprocal<br />
Partnerships: Identities, Roles,<br />
Competencies, and Growth of All<br />
Partners as Co-Educators, Co-Learners<br />
and Co-Generators of Knowledge<br />
Reciprocity in <strong>partnerships</strong> includes not <strong>on</strong>ly mutual<br />
benefit but also a power shift and co-creati<strong>on</strong>. All<br />
partners share resp<strong>on</strong>sibility for and have a voice in<br />
designing, implementing, and assessing the work of<br />
the partnership. In this sessi<strong>on</strong>, we will explore the<br />
ways in which it is counter-normative for students,<br />
community members, and faculty/staff to embody<br />
and enact co-roles, while examining associated<br />
challenges and opportunities. Participants<br />
will leave the sessi<strong>on</strong> with c<strong>on</strong>crete ideas for<br />
professi<strong>on</strong>al development activities that target all<br />
partners.<br />

Racial Disparities Unmasked: Opportunities,<br />
Struggles, and Impacts in Partnered Research<br />
Imagine university researchers working closely with a powerful,<br />
local Communities of Color Coaliti<strong>on</strong> to attempt to document the<br />
state of racial inequities in a major urban setting. Now imagine<br />
what might occur when multiple voices interact throughout the<br />
major stages of research. This effort began in 2008, and c<strong>on</strong>tinues.<br />
The complexities and impacts of this partnership will be shared.<br />
A reflective case study of this work is part of larger instituti<strong>on</strong>al<br />
network of community-engaged scholars at <strong>Portland</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong>. The process and emerging insights of this network<br />
will frame the discussi<strong>on</strong>. We will share how <strong>Portland</strong> <strong>State</strong> has<br />
instituti<strong>on</strong>ally supported partnered research such as this important<br />
work.<br />
