Workshop Description: This workshop will highlight the importance of community-led research for community organizing and will demystify the research process. We will cover research elements such as (1) coming up with a research question, (2) refining the research question and scope by seeking counsel and advice from community leaders, elders and/or lawyers, (3) how/why to conduct community consultations, (4) filing Freedom of Information requests, (5) the value of strategy sessions and campaign planning, (6) information sharing and advocacy. All 6 steps will be illustrated using SBAs Bursary for Students with Disabilities Information Campaign as an example of social justice research. We will share both the steps that we have taken and what we have learnt along the way.
