The Advocating for vaccine Confidence and Trust (ACT) Project invites the 缅北强奸 community to a special panel with academics and community organizers to engage in dialogue about best practices in community research.

Abstract

This panel is funded by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR) Caf茅 Scientifique program. It will focus on how we can decolonize community-based research using an anti-colonial and intersectional lens. There is a growing concern among community members and leaders of data exploitation and extraction, which is continuing the legacy of colonialism: exploitation of communities in the name of institutional benefit. We are hosting this panel to engage in critical consciousness and hear from community organizers and researchers what challenges they've faced, what they need and how we can move forward and reshape institutions to improve partnerships between communities and academics.
