摘要:This paper discusses the significance of conducting respectful research within urban schools, using the example of one large-scale university-school board partnership in north-western Toronto. The authors, three research assistants on the project, use their experiences within three of the participating project schools to interrogate the research approach and methods involved and highlight the challenges of conducting respectful research. The critical reflection the authors engage with builds on the existing conception of respectful research with the added inclusion of ‘accountability’ as a primary focus. The paper outlines how aspects of respectful research are both included and overlooked within this research project.
