This dissertation is rooted in my lived experience as an adult educator and my commitment to community-led development. I am committed to seeing more community groups organize themselves and lead change processes to dismantle unjust structures and create a better world. This process commonly occurs through loops of knowledge production, learning, and action known as community-based research (CBR). Although CBR started as a grassroots movement in the Global South, it became institutionalized as an action-oriented research approach which engages community members throughout the participatory project. To date, scholars have given little attention to experiences in which community members function as organic intellectuals by becoming facilitators of knowledge production and change.This dissertation contributes to the literature by relying on post-structural concepts to understand how community members, depicted as members of civil society and non-academics, and who are CBR facilitators, experience and perceive the production of their subjectivities within power relations. Additionally, how they analyze the relationship between their social location and facilitation work, and their personal care of the self. I define this research as a narrative inquiry disrupted by post-structuralism whereby research participants are invited into a collaborative diffractive analysis based on post-structural philosophical concepts. In this process, I worked with the study participants to weave their stories and theoretical concepts into one another and to make new linkages while the stories shifted and emerged as an assemblage.The narratives demonstrate how participants were constantly becoming while being the target of practices through which power circulates; producing certain kinds of subjectivities that evoke CBR discourses in their many forms. These facilitators also take up different subject positions locally, creating dynamics of privilege and oppression that potentialize the vehiculation of power in their facilitation work. Insights from their stories helped me to conceive organic intellectuals as capillary agents. The facilitators work as organic intellectuals when they are produced simultaneously by local cultural norms and CBR discourses. This enabled them to make CBR discourses into intelligible practices for local communities. Moreover, these organic intellectuals are always becoming, which opens opportunities to escape subjection, imagine new ways to relate to the world, and (re)imagine facilitation.
