ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the value of research partnerships. Partnerships are valuable because they bring together people from diverse backgrounds with different expertise to collaborate, but establishing a formal research partnership is a significant undertaking that requires administrative, budgetary, and communication skills. The chapter first describes how to establish, manage, and lead research partnerships while also addressing the challenges that such partnerships pose. It critically responds to mainstream practices of partnership by putting these in dialogue with a feminist politics of knowledge production and the challenging of hierarchical power relations. Finally, it addresses the need to scrutinise partnerships both internally and externally, most commonly through transnational feminist research and praxis.
