Community-Engaged Research from Principles to Practice 2: Understanding Cultural & Population Variation in Research - Dec. 3, 2026

Event Type:
Workshop/Seminar
Unit
CRIS
Date/Time
Thu Dec 03, 2026 at 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM
Description

Every researcher carries assumptions about culture and community, shaped by their own background and training. Those assumptions influence who gets consulted, whose knowledge is taken seriously, and what counts as a successful partnership. 

Join us for Session 2 of Community-Engaged Research from Principles to Practice, a six-session virtual series that explores practical, evidence-based approaches to building effective research partnerships with communities. 

This session builds understanding of how culture, bias, and structural difference shape community engagement, and and how researchers can respond thoughtfully and effectively. 

This session can be completed as a standalone workshop, though we encourage participants to complete the full series for a comprehensive foundation in community-engaged research in order to receive the Certificate of Series Completion. 

Developed by the Institute for Translational Sciences at the University of Texas Medical Branch and adapted by CRIS for the Canadian context and for researchers across all disciplines, each session combines interactive presentations, case studies from U of T researcher-community partnerships, and facilitated peer discussions.

Moderator: To be announced 

U of T Guest Case Study Presenter: To be announced 

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this session, participants will be able to: 

  • Identify factors influencing individual and community experiences, including the social, cultural, historical, and structural determinants that vary across communities and disciplines 
  • Distinguish between disparities, equity, and equality of outcomes across health, education, social services, and other community contexts 
  • Recognize the role of bias in shaping research design, partnerships, and the interpretation of findings
