Community-Based Research Showcase

On Friday, November 6, the Faculty of Arts, the Community Research Unit, and Heritage Saskatchewan will host a unique forum highlighting innovative research addressing local issues in partnership with community: the second annual Community-Based Research Showcase. The event is designed to highlight the wide range of collaborative research projects currently underway among researchers at the University of Regina/University of Saskatchewan and community groups, non profit organizations, and public sector organizations based in Saskatchewan. The showcase will feature presentations from various local project leaders, and invite discussion from other participants. One of the presentations, for instance, will highlight research on the promotion of First Nations art as a means of preventing suicide among Aboriginal youth. Another will outline work being done to enhance resettlement services for immigrants to Regina. And another will discuss the findings of a project examining inclusivity at the University of Regina for students with complex physical disabilities. In total, sixteen local projects will be presented, along with posters outlining several more. The Showcase is geared toward anyone interested in learning more about ongoing university-community-based research. More information: http://www.uregina.ca/arts/community-research
