| Description |
This thesis explores how coalitions incorporate community voices in their efforts to address systemic inequities. This was a comparative case study focused on two coalitions in Salt Lake County, Utah. Using a framework grounded in critical theory and undergirded by ecological theory, the research examined how power impacts the work of coalitions. Data collection involved meeting observations, interviews, and artifact analysis. This study highlights the need for intentional coalition design that centers community voice and advocates for inclusion in policymaking processes. |
