How can humanities scholars develop research for social innovation and change? What tools and strategies can scholars use to initiate meaningful and impactful community-engaged research? Join members of the Feeding City Lab for a lively discussion on building a community-engaged research project. This 2-hour online workshop will share some tools and practices from the Feeding City Lab, which documents grassroots pathways of provisioning during the pandemic in order to foster more inclusive, equitable, and resilient food systems.
The workshop will open with conversations on developing university-community collaborations with Feeding City Lab Director Jo Sharma and Jennifer Forde, Founder of the Courtyard and Scarborough Farmers’ Markets in Toronto. The second part of the workshop will focus on using autoethnography as a tool for reflexive research. Workshop participants will gain insight into how the Feeding City Lab used autoethnography to open up new research pathways, and they will have the chance to develop strategies for their own autoethnography practice.
Organized and facilitated by Jaclyn Rohel, CEHR Early Career Fellow at the JHI.
