CBRCanada Community of PracticeOctober Topic: &quot;Unruly Research&quot; with guest speaker Sophia Ilnyiak, York University.Confronting the uncomfortable relationship between the non-profit industry and social crises, <a href="https://www.communityresearchcanada.ca/post/article-make-work-methodology-canadian-homelessness-research-and-its-role-in-austerity-2022" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ilyniak’s article in the Radical Housing Journal</a> looked into why Canada has not seen a reduction in homelessness despite the proliferation of research data, reports, conferences, program models and lived experience committees. This Community of Practice explores the idea of unruly research to consider ways of breaking out of the prevailing orthodoxy of social research. Do we really need more ‘evidence’ for social change to occur? How can we produce knowledge that directly supports community struggle? This is a call for researchers to shift away from make-work projects of ‘studying [insert social problem]’ and instead, commit to challenging the forces that produce it. A﻿bout the Community of PracticeCommunity of Practice meetings actively bring together CBRCanada members from across Canada and beyond to engage in meaningful discussions, network with others, learn from each other, and exchange best practices. All involved in community-based research are welcome, whether you are a researcher, peer-researcher, student, project coordinator, administrator, director, or community leader. The group meets the second Friday of every other month. Meetings are one hour, informal, and participatory. Each month will have a short guest talk on a big theme or topic in community-based research and then launch into a break-out group and larger group discussion.
