The Nashman Center's Faculty Learning Communities meet monthly for one year, building relationships across disciplines through shared learning on a topic of interest. Join us for guest speakers, learn about your colleague’s approaches to community engagement, and build relationships with people from other academic departments who share your values for community engagement in academic work.
FLC: CBPR in Health
Community Based Participatory Research is an approach that engages academic researchers with members of the community as partners in inquiry. GW faculty from public health, nursing, medicine and health sciences, as well as those from other disciplines, who connect their work to addressing the social determinants of health are most welcome to join us.
This FLC will meet monthly on Wednesdays at 3pm, via Zoom. Register Here.
The first gathering is Feb 9.
The first topic will be “CBPR at GW.” Guest speakers will join us representing the Redstone Center, the Avance Center, and others, to give us a sense of the scope of CBPR happening on our own campus. Participants will also share their own background with CBPR research. How can we support each other as a community of scholars? What institutional supports would help advance CBPR at GW?
Other topics we will explore this year:
- The Engaged Department: Department support for CBPR
- Integrating Community Engaged Research, Teaching, and Practice
- CBPR and IRB
- Supporting and Appreciating Community Partners
- Funding and Sustaining CBPR
