The Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program and community partners, Detroit Disability Power, Detroit Justice Center, and We the People Michigan discuss the Community Partnerships Playbook: How to Create Equitable Partnerships Between Technical and Community Experts, a collaborative guide for creating more equitable partnerships between technical and community experts. The Playbook brings together advice from staff at DDP, DJC, and WTPMI who have had a range of both positive and negative experiences with researchers, academics, and technologists, along with insights developed from STPP’s Community Partnerships Initiative (CPI) and up-to-date scholarly literature. Webinar panelists shared highlights from the Playbook and talked about practical advice and real world examples from their experiences on both sides of community partnerships.
