University of Edinburgh and SCUTREA Co-hosted Event: 28 November 2014

We are delighted to be co-hosting the event 'Researching In, By and For Communities: A Conversation on Knowledge, Social Movements and Really Big Change' with Moray House School of Education. The event has been inspired by the recent referendum campaign in Scotland, which motivated many different groups and individuals to engage in debating issues affecting their lives. Thus, the event aims to build on this grassroots-level mobilisation of knowledge creation in order to debate new ways to foster community-university partnerships.

Questions to be discussed during this session include:

1. National and international networks have arisen over the past few years in support of change, but what does it really mean?
2. How do we find new ways to collaborate to support the really big changes that our communities, our countries and our tired planet longs for?

The guest speakers are Darlene Clover and Budd Hall.

Darlene Clover is Professor of Leadership Studies and Adult Education at the University of Victoria

Budd Hall is UNESCO Chair in Community-Based Research and Social Responsibility in Higher Education, Professor of Community Development, and Founding Director of the University of Victoria Office of Community-Based Research.

This event is FREE and will take place at Moray House School of Education, The University of Edinburgh, on 28th November 2014, 12.00-2.15pm and includes lunch.
