Community-engaged research is a valuable, high impact methodology that can contribute to the University of Michigan’s mission of developing new academic knowledge while advancing the public good. Community-engaged research encompasses a range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches, but what this body of work shares is substantive involvement of community partners in creating, translating, and disseminating knowledge that strengthens the well-being of communities and broader society. Ginsberg Center’s Getting Started with Community-Engaged Research will introduce you to definitions, spectrums, and some frameworks of community-engaged research, including examples from multiple disciplines. Participants will consider how to apply these workshop concepts to their own research, and leave the workshop with tools to begin to approach this work ethically and equitably.

This session is designed especially for participants who are new to or interested in community-engaged research at Michigan.

Open to faculty, staff, admin, and post-docs. Graduate students who are interested in attending can email ginsberginfo@umich.edu for more information. This session is not open to undergraduate students.
