Community-engaged research is a powerful strategy for gaining a
deeper understanding of lived experiences of poverty and economic
hardship, assessing services and programs, and informing systemic
change (Bertram & Bullock, 2023). Focusing on the Center for
Economic Justice and Action’s (CEJA) research collaborations with
nonprofit organizations, this presentation illuminates the
transformative potential of community-engaged research to advance
anti-poverty initiatives.
