Organised by Community Based Research Canada (CBRC) and the Canadian Association for the Study of Adult Education (CASAE) Location: ED 215 Education Building
Community-Based research and its family of names and concepts such as engaged scholarship, participatory research, participatory action research and more has come into its own as a discourse and practice in many disciplines and fields of practice in most of our universities in English-Speaking Canada. In Quebec, the term recherche partenariale is the most common term used. At the heart of CBR and RP lies the concept of co-construction of knowledge, a collective process of naming the world carried out between academics and community or social movement actors. But as all of us who have been engaged as community activists trying to work with academics or academics learning to work in respectful ways with community groups, CBR is not easy to do. This day has been provided in order for you to bring your stories of CBR to a space where your questions, issues, frustrations and hopes can be shared. We know that this kind of work is also not a recipe for success and most of us experience lots of discouraging and troubling moments. Bring your real stories! We welcome community members and academics from all disciplines and professional fields. This is the first event ever hosted by CBRC and CASAE at a Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences.
Facilitators: Dr. Cindy Hanson and Dr. Budd L Hall

Community-Based Research Canada was begun in 2008 as a space to support both university and community knowledge workers who are doing this kind of work. It is the Secretariat for the Community Campus Expositions (CUExpos), where community activists and academics share their work every 2-3 years.
Canadian Association for the Study of Adult Education is the national academic body for the sharing of scholarship in the field of adult education. CASAE publishes the Canadian Journal for the Study of Adult Education.
