Camille Wilson, Marsal School professor and founding director of the CREATE Center—along with co-authors Richard Smith of Wayne State University, Paulina Fraser of U-M, and independent scholars Margaret O’Connell Hanna and Jasahn Larsosa—has been recognized with the Marie O. Weil Best Article Award. “Anti-racist Research Practice Partnerships as Critical Education: Dismantling the Master’s House with their Own Tools?” will be published by The Association for Community Organization & Social Action (ACOSA) in the Journal of Community Practice (Volume 31).
The award-winning article, which will also be open access, features the Dismantling the School-to-Prison Pipeline (DSTOPP) initiative in Detroit, a research-practice partnership funded by the Spencer Foundation. DSTOPP is dedicated to building and supporting a collaborative network of community members, high-school-aged youth, and faculty members from various universities who advance justice through community-driven, action research.
