Event Information
Dr. Paula Gardner will discuss ways to conduct collaborative research with diverse community populations using critical feminist, anti-colonial, and disability-centred approaches. Key principles and values unite these approaches, which enable teams to be agile, reflexive, and responsive to community need.
During this conversation, we will:
- Explore how to engage art and design methods
- Discuss techniques to centre community participants as research experts and leaders.
- Share examples of collaborative, interdisciplinary research creating games and apps with diverse disabled older adult populations, racialized, under-resourced teens, and refugee youth in Toronto
Following these conversations, attendees are invited to join Reflecting Together, an opportunity for trainees and community members to come together and share their thoughts on the topics discussed. These facilitated discussions are an opportunity for attendees to continue the conversation and take our combined learnings into action.
The Collaborative is committed to the accessibility and inclusion of persons with disabilities. If you require any accessibility accommodations to ensure your full participation at this event, please email collabor@mcmcaster.ca and/or let us know when you register for this event.
