Students who have completed their 300-level advanced research methods training (i.e. Soci 380, 381, 382, 383, 384) can apply to participate in a small-groups research project under the direction of Professor Kerry Greer. In small groups (4-6) students partner with a local community organization and complete a community-based research project. Past student groups have applied for small grants from the Centre of Community Engaged Learning to pay costs associated with the research. This Community-Based Participatory Research is student directed, with Professor Greer providing ongoing support and oversight. Please note: this is an unpaid research experience.
Students will attend 2 workshops geared toward training them in Community Based Participatory Research and the research method that the project requires. Students should expect to commit approximately 5 hours per week from mid-January through mid-March to this project.
