Abstract

This chapter delves deeper into the concept of community knowledge introduced in Chapter 2, utilizing primary and secondary data from K4C hubs involved in the Bridging Knowledge Culture project. Our focus lies on the multifaceted nature of knowledge within community contexts. We pay particular attention to how knowledge is understood in community settings, the purposes of community knowledge, and how it is created, disseminated, and stored. We also discuss how power inequalities between research partners influence the utilization and validation of community knowledge vis-à-vis academic, scientific knowledge. The chapter concludes by summarizing seven essential attributes of community knowledge.
