Special Topics Course EDUC 8190: Introduction to Participatory Research Methodologies
Spring/Summer Intersession 2022
Thursdays 10:00am-12:50pm
Course Description
The course introduces graduate students in education to the conduct of participatory and collaborative research methodologies in educational research and development, primarily outside the mainstream Eurocentric Western academic tradition. The course explores the role and praxis of educational research to enhance the influence of education on personal, community, and national development in both the Global South and the Global North. It focuses on community research and development, research in resource-poor countries and contexts, research with and by Indigenous scholars and communities in Canada and internationally and other groups that have historically been exploited or marginalized by conventional research metrics. Central to the course is an in-depth examination of principles and practices of participatory research and its role and value in educational research. Students will explore ways to engage marginalized communities as partners and co-creators of knowledge within a problem-solving framework.

Special Response Fund for (Ukranian) Trainees:
SSHRC, NSERC & CIHR are allowing a temporary fund for all active and eligible grant-holders across the three agencies to apply for a supplement that will provide one-year relief and assistance to Ukranian trainees (i.e., individuals eligible for master’s, doctoral or postdoctoral support) whose research in Ukraine has been interrupted by the invasion. Additionally, it enables grant-holders to retain research trainees who were expected to return to Ukraine in 2022 but cannot because of the current situation. This special Fund will be in effect until the end of 2022.
