Collaborative Research Conference

The Urban Research Based Action Network (URBAN) has received a grant from the American Educational Research Association to host a conference on “Collaborative Research for Action and Equity in Education.” This invitation-only, working conference will be held April 30th – May 1st at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Prior to the conference, five working groups are preparing presentations and materials to be discussed “workshop-style” with other conference participants. The five working groups will focus on Advocacy, Neutrality and Collaborative, Equity-oriented Research; Practices of Collaborative Research; Critical Participatory Policy/Organizing Working Group; Ethical Issues in Collaborative Social Science Research; and Institutional Supports for Collaborative Research. After the conference, the products from each working group will be compiled into a cohesive format to share with the broader community.
