Reflections on deep academic–practitioner partnering for generative societal impact
提出“深度合作”概念，即学者与实践者长期、整体、动态的协作，以实现共同目标。通过十多年的研究经验，反思这种合作中的悖论和情感不适，并总结应对策略，对从事应用研究的学者和管理者具有参考价值。
While academics increasingly point to the value of engaged scholarship, we describe a more extreme form which we label as "deep partnering"-a long-term, holistic, and dynamic collaboration between academics and practitioners to achieve shared goals. Deep partnering involves interdependent and evolving interactions between academics and practitioners over an extended time period. While such relationships enable generative impact on important issues, these relationships remain challenging as academics spend time in the practitioners' complex worlds, surfacing paradoxes due to the partners' conflicting roles, time horizons, and goals, as well as uncertainty in the partnership's evolution. In this essay, we reflect on our experiences working closely with practitioners on a program of research over more than a decade in order to expand on a deep partnering approach, including the paradoxes and emotional discomfort it surfaces, and we identify practices to navigate these paradoxes.
