More than half this paper focuses on the problem, which is well known: the under-representation of knowledge and perspectives from marginalized communities in academic research. The authors draw on a model for a distributed university as a mechanism for addressing that need. I wasn't clear on reading this whether the authors were looking at knowledge created by under-represented communities, or merely drawn from them, or through some process of co-creation (all three are mentioned) and the difference to me would be significant. I think, though, that the overall idea is sound, though much more attention would need to be paid developing the solution than is offered here.
