Building Together
Research Collective

The Building Together Research Collective's mission is to bring voice and legitimacy to “knowledge from the periphery" or the knowledge and ways of seeing the world of people from marginalized urban neighborhoods. We are a partnership researchers based in universities and residents of vulnerable communities across Latin America. We are currently active in Boston, Massachusetts, Honduras, El Salvador, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

​

Our research uses qualitative and quantitative methods. All research is created with leadership and participation of residents of urban peripheries, with the purpose of creating information that can help to promote the well-being of these communities.
