April’s Learning Community Showcase highlights the powerful role that community-anchored research can play in turning grassroots insights into tangible changes across complex systems. At the heart of these generative collaborations are strong relationships between academics and community leaders, and deep commitments to taking leadership from on the ground realities and lived experience.
- The multi-year learning relationship between Concordia’s Prof. Felice Yuen and Liane Berry’s Li-Ber-T House initiative is working towards identifying and piloting best practices in post-incarceration and post-rehabilitation services, and making them a reality across Montreal and the province.
- Anchored in a research framework but offered in partnership with local community organisations, the Welcome Haven initiative offers comprehensive psycho-social supports to asylum-seeking families. In documenting the impacts of their participatory-action research, Dr. Rachel Kronick and Dr. Keven Lee aim to generate evidence for social and health policy to prevent stress-related disorders in migrant parents and children.
Open to all, register here in advance or drop by if you are on campus.
Bring your own lunch or come and snack on what we have!
Please note - this event is held in person, at the SHIFT space. If, for accessibility reasons, you are not able to join in person but would like to attend the event, please contact emma.harake@concordia.ca and we can work together to see if an alternative solution is possible. A week’s notice will give us the best chance of making something work.
Learning Community Showcase On the first Tuesday of the month, come meet members of SHIFT’s Learning Community and learn more about the socially transformative initiatives they are leading. Bring your own lunch or come and snack on what we have here.
