This paper explains how equity-centered transformative research reframes the research enterprise by departing from mainstream practice shaped by historical exclusion. Using culturally responsive evaluation, feminist and Indigenous methodologies, community-based participatory research, and theories of liberation and racial justice, it describes transforming the researcher, research content, and day-to-day research practice.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research
