Community-Centred Knowledges

You are invited to the CCK two-day conference taking place March 7–8 in Montréal, Canada, a gathering centred on Black wellness, Black mental health, and community-driven healing.

After three years of research focused on the experiences and needs of Montreal’s Black communities, this conference will feature a special keynote, panels, workshops, and live performances rooted in Black healing and collective care.

We’re excited to see you there!

The overall goal of this SSHRC-funded community-university research partnership is to develop a virtual knowledge and physical knowledge hub to research, document, and disseminate Black community-based and centered approaches to address the psycho-social impacts of anti-Black racism.

Co-led by Drs Lisa Ndejuru and Marie-Jolie Rwigema, this project is housed within Concordia’s Department of Applied Human Sciences who have partnered with the Black Healing Centre to understand the nuances to Black wellness as it exists in Montreal.

Community Centered Knowledges: Fostering Black Wellness in Montreal (CCK) is a project that has support from the Office of Community Engagement.
