WHEN: Wednesday, October 28, 2- 3:30 PM
WHERE: ICER, ART368, UBCO Campus
WHAT: As community-engaged researchers, we are committed to co-creating and co-writing with community members as co-researchers. Arts-based methods, research-based theatre, and critical participatory action research offer community members opportunities to generate research processes, participate in data collection and analysis, and author texts. This workshop will introduce a few central ideas to our approach, offer some examples, and then facilitate an experience to demonstrate how applied theatre can support community research partners as co-creators, co-researchers, and co-authors.
Nothing to bring. Dress comfortably.
