Communication scholars have taken seriously the call for engaged scholarship, and this book examines the principles, practices, and outcomes of communication activism research for social justice.Communication activism research differs from other engaged communication scholarship through researchers promoting social justice, intervening collaboratively, and creating or assisting established collective actors that represent marginalized communities. Collective actors examined in this book include Black Lives Matter, the feminist movement, and LGBTQ+ groups. This book provides practical guidance on how to perform communication activism research, offering recommendations for managing its challenges and discussing qualitative and quantitative methods for evaluating research interventions focusing on significant contemporary issues.This book will appeal to scholars who study and teach communication and social justice activism as well as scholars from disciplines such as sociology, and it is ideal as a text in courses on communication and activism, engaged communication scholarship, communication and social movements, and communication research methods.

"Communication Activism Research for Social Justice [...] provides a superb overview of what communication activism research (CAR) is (chapter 1), where it came from and how it can work (chapter 2), and where it is going in the future (chapters 4 and 5). It would have been wonderful to have a book like this in my early years as a scholar-activist, and I am excited to know that such a book is available for subsequent generations of students. Although solidly grounded in the field of communication, this book has great interdisciplinary appeal, serving as an important tool for students, pedagogues, activists, and researchers who want to continue to learn about and conduct CAR."Billie Murray, International Journal of Communication 19(2025)
