Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) provides important insights in how to mobilize a community for health promotion. This article explores the possibilities for shifting the frame from community to publics for building new forms of public health engagement in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. We present the results of an ethnographic research project on health and resilience in three low-income neighbourhoods in Maastricht, the Netherlands. In the context of a broader University-Citizens collaboration, citizens and researchers organized a monthly philosophy café to discuss subjects related to health and wellbeing. We analyse this in terms of public building and argue that shifting the perspective from community to publics strengthens the emancipatory tradition within CBPR. By creating an open setting, accommodating diversity and disagreements between its participants, the philosophy café constituted a local epistemic public, generating knowledge on health and wellbeing in disadvantaged neighbourhoods.In this article, we present an analysis of how researchers and citizens in low-income neighbourhoods collaborated to improve health and resilience. Citizens and researchers together organized a monthly philosophy café to discuss subjects related to health and wellbeing. We analyse the philosophy café as the activities of a public rather than a community. The philosophy café was set up as an open setting in which strangers could meet and exchange ideas and experiences. This resulted in lively exchanges and disagreements on what a good life entails. By presenting the philosophy café as a local public, our paper stresses the desire of neighbourhood inhabitants to meet strangers and exchange ideas, rather than to form close attachments to a neighbourhood community. |
