Carleton’s new online Community Based Research toolkit

Facilitated by Tara McWhinney

Created through the Community First: Impacts of Community Engagement research project, this bilingual toolkit (found at https://carleton.ca/cspsc/research-toolkit-for-community-based-organizations-2/) is intended for community organizations trying to decide if they want to conduct research, and whether they should seek an academic partner to work with to conduct this research. This toolkit is designed as a project development checklist that acts as a guide for things to consider for community organizations conducting a research project. This workshop will discuss how to use the toolkit in the early stages of developing a community-based research project idea or community-campus partnership. The discussion will be of most value to community-based organizations, students and faculty new to community-based research.

Carleton’s Online Portal for Community Engagement

Carleton is starting to develop an online portal to enable community-campus connections. What would be the value of such a portal to community organizations, businesses, students, faculty, and staff? Join this discussion to contribute your ideas. Facilitated by Ryan Davies (Advancement) and Lorraine Dyke (Vice Provost and Associate Vice-President, Academic).

Carleton’s Indigenous Strategy

Carleton University is situated within the unceded traditional territory of the Algonquin people and supports First Nation, Métis and Inuit students from across Canada. We recognize our special responsibility to support the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

The Carleton University Indigenous Strategic Initiatives Committee (CUISIC) convened last fall to revitalize the university’s Indigenous strategy and re-energize relationships with Indigenous communities in the region and across the country. The committee is comprised of First Nations, Métis and Inuit members from local communities, as well as Carleton faculty, professional services staff and students.

Join CUISIC co-chair Professor Kahente Horn-Miller (School of Indigenous Studies and Canadian Studies) to discuss opportunities for strengthening Indigenous community engagement at Carleton.
