Abstract

Nearly 15 years ago, I started my graduate career in sociology doing traditional community-based work.At its very core, sociologists study society, social groups, and inequality.Place-based researchers and urban and public sociologists have been in some of the best positions to apply anti-racist community-engaged practices.Unfortunately, replicating past methods and approaches of community-engaged research has left sociologists and many community researchers reasserting the status quo, maintaining complicity with power and privilege (Hartmann, 2022).Anti-Racist Community Engagement: Principles and Practices is about unlearning.After reading this collection, I concluded social researchers across higher education, including myself, need to reconcile and unlearn how they have been taught to do community-engaged studies.As place-based researchers across the micro-, meso-, and macro-levels of community and urban social research,
