PRESENTATIONS
We are available for presentations about our work and the importance of including ethical considerations as you plan your research. We are also available to facilitate discussions about research ethics issues. We have participated in various conferences with displays and workshops, including attendance at CKX in Toronto in November 2014 where more than 400 leaders and community change makers from across Canada and other nations arrived in Toronto for three days of conversation, workshops, jam sessions, and field building. We facilitated a 70-minute workshop titled “Do No Harm: The ethical challenges of community-based research.”
Theron Kramer, a previous co-chair, was a panelist when the McMaster Community-based Research Ethics Working Group hosted a forum on community-engaged research ethics. Other panelists included Bonnie Freeman from McMaster U, Adrian Guta from Carleton U. Participants included students, faculty and community members in discussions centered around ethical tensions experienced in the context of community-based research.
CREO also had a booth and display at the Expo at Congress 2014 which took place at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario. It was a great success for us as we connected with numerous academics, professors, community researchers, and students who have long recognized a need for a community based research ethics board operating outside of universities and other institutions.
Please contact us if you are interested in our participation at your conference or event where we can bring a community based research perspective to your discussions about ethics in research.
