| dc.description.abstract | This autoethnographic study investigates my experience as a graduate student engaging in a collaborative and community-driven research project with the University 101 Learning Community. Building on the work of many scholars on the importance of putting research into practice, bringing academic knowledge beyond the campus, and working collaboratively with communities, this thesis investigates the following general research question: How does one graduate student describe the realities of doing community-driven research, including its opportunities and challenges? Specifically, my work aims to explore the lived and embodied experience of engaging in non-traditional research as a graduate student. My findings highlight the complexity of trust in the context of community-driven research, the challenges of resisting academic norms in alternative research models, and the opportunities for growth for students taking on this scholarship with commitment. | en_US |
