Community-Engaged Research Faculty Discussion Club Series: Session 1: Foundations in Community Engaged Research

Presented by the Centre for Community Partnerships

In-Person Location: Centre for Research & Innovation Support, 9 Kings College Circle

Join us for the launch of the “Community Engaged Research Faculty Discussion Club,” a new series for faculty with an interest in deepening their theoretical and practical understanding of community engaged research to connect with, and learn together from, colleagues from across the tri-campus in order to strengthen both societal and scholarly impact.

The first session in this series, “Foundations in Community Engaged Research” will provide participants with an introduction to key concepts in community engaged research from different disciplinary perspectives. Sharing case examples from their own research, guest panelists will highlight the theoretical foundations, values, and principles that inform their research practice. Panelists will highlight the importance of centering relationships and trust building between partners to strengthen reciprocal benefits for communities, broader society and scholarly benefits along with challenges.

This first session will be an opportunity for faculty participants to connect with, and learn more about, their peers and their partners from across U of T with an interest in community engaged research.
