Our panel of experienced activists and researchs will be discussing topics such as:

• How can we change the ways that we engage with communities without continuing to cause harm?
• How can our research transform with the changing needs of the communities that we serve?

Let’s discuss the messiness and successes in community-based research and how to engage communities in the work being done.
