Community-Engaged Research Methods Workshop
This two-part workshop explores community-engaged research methods. On June 29th, Dr. Stuart Poyntz, CERi co-Director and Associate Professor in SFU’s School of Communication, and Dr. Tiffany Mueller Myrdahl, Senior Lecturer in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies and Urban Studies at SFU, addressed a broad range of CER methods with CERi’s Graduate Fellows. The CERi Fellows are a cohort of graduate students at Simon Fraser University who are actively practicing community-engaged research or whose research will use CER methods.
In the first part of the workshop, Poyntz explores a sample of CER methods including arts-based methods, social audits, citizen science, participatory mapping and evaluation and oral history. In the second part, Mueller Myrdahl unpacks the expectations and implications of conducting CER.
The outcomes of this two-part workshop are to:
- Establish a broad understanding of CER research methods
- Identify a range of research methods and assess their potential explications in individual research projects
- Examine expectations for a CER-based project
- Discuss the integration of CER principles
