This graduate seminar will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the theory, practice, and challenges associated with collaborative research between researchers and practitioners. Research-Practice Partnerships (RPPs) are an effective approach for bridging the gap between research and practice in various fields and subjects. This seminar will explore the key concepts, principles, and strategies involved in establishing and sustaining effective RPPs. Through engagement with texts, colleagues, and experienced RPP members, students will develop practicalskills for navigating key RPP processes including building mutualistic relationships, identifying mutual problems of practice, negotiating research questions, applying design-based implementation research methods, and communicating about engaged research.
