CBRCanada Webinar: Moving the Dial On: Health Equity Advocacy

Community-Based Research Canada presents “Moving the Dial”: our Winter & Spring 2023 E-Learning series. This series will highlight action-oriented community-based research that is ‘moving the dial’ on today’s pressing societal challenges. An important hallmark of community-based research, taking an action-orientated and impactful approach, means research partnerships mobilizing knowledge and mobilizing communities towards positive societal change. The research projects highlighted within this series demonstrate impact of community-based research. We will hear about research partnerships that facilitated actions improving societal conditions, including changes in policies, systems, organizations, and communities where everyone is supported and belongs.

Webinar

This event titled "Moving the Dial On: Health Equity Advocacy" is presented by Dr. Ameil Joseph. This presentation will share outcomes and impacts of community advocacy work to establish the Restoration House clinic in Hamilton, to prioritize hard to reach Black, other racialized, and disabled population who were disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 infection. Specifically, the work to challenge systemic inequities through community solidarity building and mobilization, will be discussed to offer insights on future transformative potentials and possibilities for community-engagement.

Following the presentation, CBRCanada will facilitate a live discussion to explore implications for practice. Breakout groups will be facilitated by webinar presenters.
