What’s the best way to develop and implement solutions to social problems? TED Fellow and human rights activist Monica Malta discusses why traditional, top-down policymaking often fails by excluding key voices and missing root causes. She shows why community-based participatory research — a method that empowers communities to co-create solutions to their own challenges — taps into the resilience and strength of everyday people to be leaders of change.

Monica Malta discusses community-based participatory research as a more effective approach to addressing social issues than traditional top-down methods. She shares her personal experience with domestic violence and HIV, and explains how involving affected communities in research leads to better solutions.

She is not a scientist. This is not science. She is a social worker. Maybe she is particularly god in this job, this might be true (although I’m not convinced), but please stop calling things science to put a halo on peoples heads. Doing that is a way to diminish academia and manipulating peoples perception of what belongs into academia and what in a school or a training center. You are misguiding the public and aren’t even aware that your speech is having the opposite effect on the world that you are allegedly trying to achieve.

How is this woman a scientist? She is very obviously not a scientist but a social worker. It is not wrong what she does. She does her job, and that is fine. But what is wrong is to act as if that would have to do something with science. It does not. Videos like this are meant to gain a fellowship by affection and emotions that are, by definition, irrational. By doing so, institutions like the TED talk or more general, the mainstream media is working on ending the age of enlightenment and instead starting a new epoch of totalitarianism or maybe a so-called Scientocracy.

Social work research is highly regarded within the social science community, as it adheres to the same rigorous standards followed by other scientific disciplines. While the video does not delve into community-centered data collection methodologies, it’s important to note that such approaches are essential in social work research, especially when focusing on ethics and the long-term impact on communities. Effective research in this field involves engaging the individuals whose lives are being studied and supported. Social work and science are not distinct or separate; when integrated thoughtfully, they provide a deeper, more comprehensive understanding of how to create meaningful and sustainable change.

Your first question just displays your “rational” and unbiased deductions from your outstanding scientific knowledge towards woman and scientific methods. It is impressive how you were 100% driven by logic and not the negative affection that the video about community participatory problem solving caused on you. Humanity is very thankful for your existence, and I would highlight women in this group since they are very supported by your views of how science should be cold and purely rational, like you are. I am so satisfied internet exists, giving the opportunity to talk to contemporary genius like you.

Monica Malta’s TED Talk discusses the transformative power of community-led research in addressing social issues, particularly concerning women’s health and safety. She contrasts traditional top-down research approaches with community participatory research (CPR), highlighting how CPR empowers affected communities to lead the research process, resulting in more effective and sustainable solutions. Malta shares her personal experience as a survivor of domestic violence and HIV, emphasizing the importance of including the lived experiences of those most affected. She showcases successful examples of CPR initiatives, including educational programs and a safety app, demonstrating the significant positive impact on the lives of queer Brazilians and others. The talk concludes by stressing the need for humility and genuine listening when working with diverse communities.
*Highlights*
🗣 Community-led research is crucial: Traditional research methods often fail to address the root causes of social problems because they lack the input of those directly affected. CPR, in contrast, empowers communities to lead the research, leading to more effective solutions.
💔 Personal experience drives change: Malta’s own experience with domestic violence and HIV fueled her passion for using science to improve the lives of others, highlighting the importance of lived experience in research.
💪 Successful CPR initiatives: The talk showcases impactful examples of CPR, including educational programs and a safety app, demonstrating the positive impact on the lives of marginalized communities.
📈 Long-term impact: Studies suggest CPR has a greater long-term impact than traditional methods due to its comprehensive data collection and the inclusion of unique community perspectives.
🙏 Humility and listening are key: Effective collaboration requires researchers to humble themselves and truly listen to the needs and priorities of each community, recognizing they are not saviors but collaborators.
