Empowering Communities: Strategies for Engaging in Successful, Co-produced Hydrological Research
by Dr. Chris Shuler
Community-engagement has emerged as somewhat of a clich茅 in the realm of contemporary, socially-conscious scientific discourse. However, what actually distinguishes projects that merely pay lip service to this term from those that truly make a meaningful impact on their intended communities? Admittedly, although many other scholars and practitioners possess deeper expertise for addressing this question, what I can offer in this presentation is my unique perspective on the core attributes and strategies that I see as instrumental in yielding successful and impactful outcomes in community-based water research. I will do this by sharing a set of case studies that highlight my own current and future water-related research and outreach projects in Hawai鈥榠, American Samoa, and the Pacific. In this presentation, I hope to share some inspiration, reevaluate our understanding of what defines communities, and stimulate a dialogue on genuinely engaging in collaborative efforts with colleagues, neighbors, government officials, and friends.
