Abstract
Going to the people’s coming is a way of thinking that invites us to get to know communities from within. It implores us to show up in the mundane places of everyday life so that we can experience them firsthand. In the process, we generate new knowledge by walking in other people’s shoes, empathizing with their experiences, observing carefully, and sharing what we know and learn.
