During his presentation, Professor Stoecker will discuss and explore several questions, including: What power dynamics affect community-university collaboration? Who owns data – those who provide it or those who process it? Who contributes, distributes and receives research funding? Who should? Do ethical guidelines and protocols protect or harm communities?
