Five cohorts of student researchers have produced a guide on how data justice principles can be centred during community-based research projects, through a series of reflexive questions. During this interactive workshop, participants will engage in exercises designed to inspire critical questions about data justice thinking. Such questions will consider how research workflows can better tune into the frequency of historically marginalized narratives that are systematically excluded for more just processes and outcomes.Student Stories of Community-Based Research: Pathways into PracticeThis hour-long panel discussion will explore three students’ pathways into what is often described under the umbrella of community-based research. Discussion will focus on how their experiences have shaped their understanding of what research can and should be. As well each will share a little about what lessons they have learned and what students interested in doing community-based research should keep in mind.Transformative Research ConversationJoin us for a community conversation about transformative research! Last spring, members of the MRA met to discuss what transformative research means to us. We believe that transformative change requires a process of political mobilization on multiple levels inside and outside the conventional public policy system and that research is an important part of that process. This afternoon will offer examples and room to explore new transformative research projects that can be developed to fill gaps, focus on different central ideas, and work towards the 2023 provincial election.We look forward to seeing you !If changes to Manitoba Public Health orders or University mandates occur, the event may have to change in format.
