Cervical cancer remains a significant public health concern, but innovative approaches and community-based research are transforming prevention efforts, particularly immigrant communities. With over 600,000 new cases diagnosed annually, early detection and prevention strategies are crucial. However, accessibility and awareness gaps persist in immigrant communities due to language barriers, cultural stigma, and limited healthcare access. Community-based research plays a pivotal role in bridging these gaps. In engaging local populations through culturally sensitive outreach ensures that prevention strategies are accepted and effective. University of Miami Chief Health Equity Officer, Dr. Erin Kobetz, discusses how integrating cutting-edge technology with community engagement, moves us closer to reducing cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates, fostering a healthier future for immigrant populations.

When to AI, and When Not to AI with Eric Hekler"People are different. Context matters. Things change."In this episode of the Behavioral Design Podcast, Aline is joined by Eric Hekler, professor at UC San Diego, to explore the nuances of AI in behavioral science and health interventions. Eric's mantra—emphasizing the importance of individual differences, context, and change—serves as a foundation for the conversation as they discuss when AI enhances behavioral interventions and when human judgment is indispensable.The discussion explores just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAI), the efficiency trap of AI, and the jagged frontier of AI adoption—where machine learning excels and where it falls short. Eric shares his expertise on control systems engineering, human-AI collaboration, and the real-world challenges of scaling adaptive health interventions. The episode also explores teachable moments, the importance of domain knowledge, and the need for AI to support rather than replace human decision-making.The conversation wraps up with a quickfire round, where Eric debates AI's role in health coaching, mental health interventions, and optimizing human routines.LINKS:Eric Hekler:TIMESTAMPS:02:01 Introduction and Correction05:21 The Efficiency Trap of AI08:02 Human-AI Collaboration11:04 Conversation with Eric Hekler14:12 Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions15:19 System Identification Experiment28:27 Control Systems vs. Machine Learning39:44 Challenges with Classical Machine Learning43:16 Translating Research to Real-World Applications49:49 Community-Based Research and Context Matters59:46 Quickfire Round: To AI or Not to AI01:08:27 Final Thoughts on AI and Human Evolution--Interesting in collaborating with Nuance?

In this episode I talk with Christopher Hernández about his recent archaeological work on Postclassic Maya warfare. Christopher Hernández is an assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology at Loyola University Chicago. His work in anthropological archaeology is fundamentally shaped by the issue of contemporary relevance. How does the past matter or not? This question stems from his upbringing in Chicago as the child of Guatemalan migrants who talked endlessly about their love for Guatemala and the importance of ancient Maya history. Searching for a sense of self in a country that treats all Latinx peoples as foreigners led him to study ancient pyramids as well as contemporary culture: given the pride felt for the Indigenous past, why are contemporary Maya peoples treated so poorly in Guatemala and other part of Latin America? This formative experience shapes how and why he conducts research. Christopher Hernández's current research is focused on issues of archaeological ethics, the application of community-based methods, relational philosophy, and understanding social conflict in long-term perspective. Through the application of aerial laser scanning (lidar), documentary analysis, and traditional excavation methods, he investigates how the process of making war shaped landscapes at a regional level. This analysis entails collaborative research into martial tactics and the consolidation of archaeological remains to attract tourism. The reconstruction of ancient structures is conducted in service of the local Indigenous community of Puerto Bello Metzabok.

Dr. Tia Neha, Senior Lecturer in Māori and Indigenous Psychology at Victoria University of Wellington, speaks about community driven research with the example of her own doctoral studies within Māori communities, the importance of language, culture and relationships, the difference in techniques between indigenous research and western research and their place in science as a whole. Dr. Tia Neha's description of the Waiata (song) at the start and end of the episode"Mā Wai Rā – Kō Henare Te Owai te Kaitito. Nō Te Aitanga a Mate, Te Whānau o Hiruharama me te Whānau o Te Aowera.This waiata tangi (song of lament) was composed by my great grand uncle. He was my paternal great grandmother's – Piriote (nee) Te Owai (brother) and his name was Henare Te Owai. This side of my whānau come from the Ngāti Porou tribe, the East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand. He was well sought after and commissioned by Sir Apirana Ngata (a New Zealand Māori statesman who also features on the NZ $50 note) to revitalise and retain cultural performance aspects of Māori culture in Northland.During that time my Koro lost his close friend Reverend Pine Tamehore and at the time it would take him a long time to get back to the East Coast for his tangi (Māori funeral). During his grief he composed this waiata tangi in his friend's honour as he knew he would miss his tangi.This waiata depicts the emotions of loss and leadership in the homelands to who will be the future leaders for Ngāti Porou from the East Coast of the North Island and in particular for the whānau from Te Aitanga a Mate, Te Whānau o Hiruharama me te Whānau o Te Aowera.The waiata has seven verses and the waiata has become popularised in many events that take place in many Māori settings. The main verse is generally sung at these events. See below. Mā wai rā. Who will tend Te marae i waho nei? To the marae here?Mā te tika, mā te pono, Truth, honestyMe te aroha e.

Budd Hall is a professor of adult education in Victoria BC and co-chair of a UNESCO project on community-based research. Beginning in Tanzania in the 1970s, he helps local citizens discover questions to which they need answers and which are "researchable." Often people in the community collaborate with academic scholars to produce reports that are useful to the public. This trend has implications for making universities more relevant to their communities.

The best solutions begin when you listen to the people whose problems you're trying to solve. That community-based focus — the crux of what Nancy Schoenberg says is her approach as a medical anthropologist — has been a guiding value through her 25 years at the University of Kentucky. In this “Research Made Possible” podcast, Schoenberg shares what drives her work on diabetes and cancer in rural communities across Kentucky.
For some physicians, the intense workload and pressures of clinical trial settings can become overwhelming. This week, Courtney Alexander, site supervisor, contract and budget manager at Centricity Research, explains how community-based research sites support physicians by freeing up time so they can focus on the most important part of clinical trials: the patient. During this podcast, Courtney touches on the crucial role of the coordinator to help physicians with “growing pains,” how Centricity's patient-centric approach helps sites meet key metrics like enrollment goals, and how community-based sites are increasing access to clinical trials for all."Everybody should have access to clinical trials – everybody. And everyone should know that clinical research is not a last option."
The A/C study is a comprehensive mixed methods project developed by a team of mostly black researchers and service providers. As part of the team's core values they made certain that people from ACB communities played leading roles in all aspects of the project. It was clear to the team that there was a lack of reliable data about race and ethnicity to fully understand the prevalence of HIV in African Caribbean communities in Ontario. The A/C study now has the foundational evidence to fill this gap and speak to the root causes of HIV vulnerability. Host James Watson sits down with two key members of the research team Fanta Ongoiba and Pascal Djiadeu to discuss the issues and impacts. Fanta Ongoiba is the Executive Director of Africans in Partnership Against AIDS (APAA), and a leader in the African community. She has worked in a number of capacities related to human rights and humanitarian causes, including treatment information exchange counselor at CATIE (Canada's source for information about HIV and hepatitis C) and as a community health promotion worker at the francophone center of Toronto. Pascal is a part-time assistant professor at McMaster University, in the department of health research methods evidence and impact, and a lecturer at Humber College/University of Guelph Humber. Pascal is also a research analyst and methodologist consultant at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto. He teaches Applied Epidemiology in the BHSc program in the faculty of health sciences and wellness at Humber College. His research focuses on HIV implementation sciences and, health inequities and disparities.

This episode features a conversation about the Woodland and Waterways EcoWatch project co-ordinated by Haliburton's own Ulinks Community-Based Research group. Provincial government environmental research has been in decline for many years as the Ministries of Natural Resources and the Environment had been reduced by successive provincial governments to mere shadows of their former selves. Lake associations and other local voluntary organizations with ecological mandates have attempted as best they can to fill the resulting research void through citizen science and other forms of community-based research. Ulinks' Woodlands and Waterways EcoWatch project aims to increase the support for local research to enhance the ecological sustainability of our lakes and forests and the ecosystems that keep them healthy. Ulinks reps, Andy Gordon, Sadia Fischer, and Jim Prince describe the history behind the creation of this new collaboration and its implications for enhancing our knowledge of local lake and terrestrial health.

In this episode we speak with Rajesh Tandon, founder of the Society for Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA) based in New Delhi, India, and Budd Hall, Professor Emeritus at the University of Victoria in Canada. Budd and Rajesh jointly hold a UNESCO Chair in Community Based Research and Social Responsibility in Higher Education . They reflect on coining the concept of "knowledge democracy" and participating in the consultations related to the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science.
In this episode, the Ar Pod team welcomes Dr. Rajesh Tandon, an internationally acclaimed leader and practitioner of participatory research and development. In 1982 Dr. Tandon founded the Society for Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), a voluntary organisation providing support to grassroots initiatives in South Asia and continues to be its Chief Functionary. He also holds a UNESCO Chair on Community Based Research and Social Responsibility in Higher Education since 2012. He is a prolific writer and scholar and is highly decorated. The conversation opens with an introduction of Dr. Tandon and the story behind PRIA (2:02), followed by a lightening round of questions (8:29), where Joe and Adam ask about the mission and vision of PRIA, a recent project with domestic workers, definitions of community based participatory research and, how is participatory research different from community-based participatory action research. Later in the episode, Adam asks what have been some of the more effective mechanisms or processes that you have used to catalyze participation in the field as it relates to participatory research (19:16). Dr. Tandon responds by placing emphasis on building trust among the stakeholders, facilitating conversation with the community and finding a local trusted organisation. How might a budding scholar identify those local organisations? How can these local organisations be trusted? (26:28). To find out, tune in! References PRIA. (2019).

The Community-Based Research Centre (CBRC) is a nonprofit charitable organization that promotes the health of the gay community through research and intervention development. Douglas Nelson's guest for this episode is Jody Jollimore, the Executive Director at CBRC. Jody faced several challenges in taking over the organization and building it to scale, especially during the pandemic. What kept the organization strong and intact through the ups and downs? Jody says it all boils down to believing in the work. Workers at CBRC don't work for the sake of the paycheck but because it impacts them and their loved ones personally. Tune in and learn from Jody's challenges and experiences in managing and reorganizing a nonprofit research centre.

Joyee Washington, MS, MPH, CHES is a Public Health and Education Research Consultant who works with individuals, groups, organizations, institutions, and communities to plan, implement, assess, evaluation and manage health education and community-based programs, as well as research. She is the founder of Joyee Washington Consulting, LLC and is completing her PhD in Educational Research at the University of Southern Mississippi with a focus on evaluation, statistics, and assessment specifically related to adolescent sexual health. She believes that power lies in community and the best way to access that power is by listening and uplifting the voices of the people through community engagement and action. In This Episode We Cover: How the journey to a PhD is not a straight line but involves many twists and turns. Her focus on adolescent sexual health and teen pregnancy prevention. Her struggles and successes conducting Community-Based Participatory Research with a Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program. The importance of an engaged Community Advisory Board. Her biggest challenges working in Community-Based Research. Her top tips for planning for, implementing and evaluating Community-Based Research. The item(s) that you want to make sure you include in your research budget. The importance of planning for sustainability at the very beginning of the research planning process. The difference between community involvement and community engagement. Why recognizing a community’s strengths is crucial in the research process. The two key factors in helping communities solve problems. Stand-Out Quotes: With regards to Community-Based Participatory Research: "It’s one thing to read about it in a book and another thing to actually do it.” “As researchers, we cannot go into their community and assume we know what they need. That will not work. That will create more problems as opposed to solutions.” “There is a lot that goes on in the background of CBPR. It is key to have a community advisory board.” Advice for Community-Based Researchers: “Don’t go in with any expectations. You have to be open. You have to be flexible.” “At the end of the day it isn’t about you, it is about the community.” “You have to plan for sustainability on the front end.” “When talking about community-based research and projects in general, equity is providing resources to those who need it the most.” “We have a responsibility to work with a community to uncover their strengths and use those strengths to achieve health equity.” “(Research) is more than numbers, data and experiments. We have to take time and ask what’s going on. Communities have to learn to empower themselves.” Action Steps: Whenever working to help solve problems, make sure to meet people where they are and build trust and relationships by listening. Be flexible during the entire research process. Build a sustainability plan during the initial planning process. Remain open, because it is about the community, not your research expectations. Find the strengths! Reach Out: Visit Joyee’s website at: https://joyeewashington.com
Healthcare careers are rewarding and fulfilling because people get to partner with communities to find ways to solve health-related problems. In this week’s episode, let’s get to know my guest, Reginald Tucker-Seeley, MA, ScM, ScD, and see how he’s making a difference in health disparities and health equity. Part One of ‘RWJF Health Policy Fellows: An Interview with Reginald Tucker-Seely’ Reginald Tucker-Seeley, MA, ScM, ScD, is the inaugural holder of the Edward L. Schneider Chair in Gerontology and assistant professor at the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology. He manages the Tucker-Seeley Research Lab at the gerontology school. He completed master and doctoral degrees in public health (social and behavioral sciences) at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (HSPH) and a postdoctoral fellowship in cancer prevention and control at HSPH and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. His research has focused primarily on social determinants of health across the life course, such as the association between the neighborhood environment and health behavior; and individual-level socioeconomic determinants of multimorbidity, mortality, self-rated physical, mental and oral health, and adult height. Dr. Tucker-Seeley has received funding from the National Cancer Institute for research focused on developing measures of financial well-being for cancer research. The first grant was an R21, “Development of a measure of financial well-being: Expanding our notion of SES,” The second grant was a K01 Career Development grant, “Financial well-being following a prostate cancer diagnosis." He is also interested in how the neighborhood environment is defined and measured. I recognized the demographic shift and we're going to have more older adults. We need to have policy solutions for addressing it.” — Reginald Tucker-Seeley, MA, ScM, ScD (01:46-01:59) Dr. Tucker-Seeley was a 2017-2018 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Fellow. We did our policy fellowships at the same time, and that's how we are connected. Reggie became involved in the aging space because he recognized the impending demographic shift in the number of older adults, which will require policy solutions for aging well. His primary interest originally was in the financial well-being of individuals. He was drawn to the health and retirement study, which is a large population study of adults over age fifty. This rich dataset had many financial-related questions and it became a way for him to marry his interest in financial well-being and the lives of older adults. He completed his doctoral training at the Harvard School of Public Health, where he did the three paper format for his dissertation using the health and retirement study. He focused on financial hardship and its association with health outcomes, in addition to looking at the association between physical activity, behavior, and perceived safety. He has a longstanding interest in the impact of health and social policy on racial/ethnic minorities and across socioeconomic groups. He has experience working on local and state-level health disparities policy and measuring and reporting health disparities at the state level. Tucker-Seeley was selected for the 2017-2018 cohort of the Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellowship Program. The fellowship includes a one-year residency in Washington, D.C., working either in a federal congressional or executive office on health policy issues. “Tens of thousands of bills are introduced every year, but only one to two percent make it into law.” — Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FAAN (24:14-24:20) Before joining the USC faculty, Reginald was an assistant professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and in the Center for Community Based Research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Prior to graduate study at Harvard, he received an undergraduate degree in accounting from the University of Tulsa. He worked in the accounting/auditing field for five years, most recently as an internal auditor at St. Louis University. He also completed an MA degree in human development counseling from St. Louis University and a clinical counseling internship at the Washington University Student Health and Counseling Service. Part Two of ‘2020: ‘RWJF Health Policy Fellows: An Interview with Reginald Tucker-Seely’ “I looked at the fellowship experience as a learning opportunity.” — Reginald Tucker-Seeley, MA, ScM, ScD (10:07-10:11) Reginald lived in Rhode Island, the smallest U.S. state by area and the seventh least populous, making it very easy to be active in state health policy. He was on a commission for Health Advocacy and Equity, and that commission was a legislatively mandated body that required writing a state-level health disparities report every two years. Even with public health training experience, he thought, "If I don't know how to do this, chances are most of our students don't know how to do this either." So, he ended up developing a new course at Harvard called Measuring and Reporting Health Disparities that included a three-part case study that would take students through the process of having to write a state-level health disparities report. He didn't have any federal health policy experience during his time as an assistant professor at Harvard. That's how he found the Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellowship program and also the White House Fellowship Program. The Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellowship program includes a three-month orientation on how federal health policy gets made. He knew it would provide him the resources to add the federal component to his teaching.

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning podcast, episode #75 with Maurice Elias, a Professor of Psychology at Rutgers University[i], Director of the Rutgers Social-Emotional Learning Lab[ii], Academic Director of The Collaborative Center for Community-Based Research and Service at Rutgers and he is one of the members of CASEL (Collaborative for Social and Emotional Learning) which our listeners will know as a trusted source for knowledge about high-quality, evidence-based social and emotional learning programs.[iii] Prof. Elias lectures nationally and internationally to educators and parents about students’ emotional intelligence, school success, and social-emotional and character development. Among Dr. Elias’ numerous books are ASCD’s Promoting Social and Emotional Learning: Guidelines for Educators, the Social Decision Making/Social Problem-Solving curricula for grades k-8, Emotionally Intelligent Parenting, and many others that I will reference in this interview. Watch the interview on YouTube here. Podcast Introduction and Backstory of Maurice Elias My name is Andrea Samadi, I’m a former educator who created this podcast to bring the most current neuroscience research, matched with social and emotional skills, with interviews from experts who have risen to the top of their field with specific strategies or ideas that you can implement immediately, to take your results to the next level. My vision is to bring the experts to you, and help you to implement their proven strategies, whether you are a teacher working in the classroom or online, a student, or parent working in the corporate space, for immediate results. When I was first introduced to Maurice Elias, it was from Corwin Press’s Marketing Department, who explained to me that his work fit directly into what we are doing with this podcast. When I looked at his website, and the Rutgers Social and Emotional Learning lab, it looked familiar—I know I have been on his page before, while researching leaders in this field, and within a minute of watching a YouTube video of his work from back in 2010[iv] that describes Emotion in Education, I wish I had been introduced to him 10 years ago. Welcome Maurice, it’s wonderful to meet you. Thank you so much for agreeing so quickly to share all the work you have been doing to transform education. After reading a couple of your books, I couldn’t stop thinking about what would have happened, if I had met you 10 years ago when I worked at Pearson Education... At that time, I was working as a sales rep, selling programs and services to the school market and someone reminded me recently of how hard I tried to put social and emotional learning content into one of the products we were selling. For those who have been following this podcast, you will know that I have had this vision for teaching these skills in the classroom for the past 20 years, and finally decided to approach Pearson’s Product Development team with this vision and was told “let’s take it slow, and poll some educators, and see how they respond.” It just wasn’t the right time. If only I had met you back then, Maurice, I would have just played the video I saw of you in 2010 called Emotions in Education to help them catch the vision that you explained in be “the foundation of what learning is all about.”[v] I would have had the right person, with the right sense of the urgency for this vision but so glad to be meeting you now! Q1: Maurice, as a Professor of Psychology at Rutgers University and the Director of the Social-Emotional and Character Development Lab that guides school-based efforts on SEL and character development, I wonder how and when your vision for SEL and Character began and what’s the vision that you hold now for your SECD lab[vi] and SEL in schools? Q2: I’ve always thought that character was an integral component to SEL and I can see that you agree calling your lab social and emotional and character lab. Can you explain the idea that Character has two essential parts: moral character and performance character that you talk about in your book The Other Side of the Report Card[vii]? Q3: I know that many educators want to improve their students’ social and emotional intelligence, but don’t know where to begin. In your book The Educators Guide to Emotional Intelligence and Academic Achievement[viii], you mention some first steps that educators should consider when implementing these ideas into the classroom (in person or virtual classroom)? I read your article about creating buy in for educators[ix], but what else should they consider? How can they best prepare for their vision of integrating these skills into the classroom? Q4: What about parents who want to raise emotionally intelligent children, (which is all of us) and especially children who have the ability to think and make decisions. In your book, Emotionally Intelligent Parenting,[x] you take some of the principles from Daniel Goldman’s bestseller, Emotional Intelligence[xi] and explain how they can be applied to successful parenting. Can you explain a couple of these principles and why we its crucial to be teaching them at home to our children? Q5: I loved the article you published for Parent Toolkit (I saw it on LinkedIn about how watching sports with your children can boost their SEL/Emotional Intelligence skills).[xii] I absolutely loved this idea, as I never thought about this connection but there was this one time, we were at a baseball game with my 2 girls, ages 10 and 8 and we watched Wilson Ramos[xiii] (Ra-Mos) meditate away from some other players who were warming up, before a game. We did talk about it, but I never thought about going deeper with this like you did with this article. (Talking about focus, the athlete’s preparation and practice, emotion regulation, goal setting, problem solving, planning, teamwork, building resiliency and overcoming obstacles). I know it’s going to be awhile since we are all watching a game like this live, but can you recap these ideas so we can think of creative ways to talk about discussing these skills so we can learn from these athletes? Q6: It’s definitely been different times the past few months, but I know there is always a positive side to every challenging situation. What do you think are some challenges that educators/parents/families are going to face in the next year, and how can we think of these challenges as learning opportunities to build resilience? Q7 Final thoughts. Is there anything that we’ve missed that you think is important? Thank you so much Maurice, for your time today. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the work you are doing at Rutgers’s Social and Emotional Learning Lab. My brother in law went to the New Brunswick Campus, and he’s now a Professor at SMU in Texas, and I’ve only heard great things about Rutgers over the years.

It turns out that the presence of tiny creatures making their homes at the water’s edge can tell us a lot about water quality and the health of adjacent shorelines. And, as we know healthy shorelines are essential to the water quality of Haliburton’s incredible lakes, streams and wetlands. Recently, The U-links Centre for Community Based Research, headquartered in Minden, partnered with six Lake Associations across Haliburton County to study shoreline aquatic invertebrate populations. Over time, a database of the results will provide another means of assessing and tracking changes to shoreline health and water quality. To hear more about “benthos biomonitoring” and its use in protecting and improving lake water quality, join me, Terry Moore, on the next Planet Haliburton episode for a conversation with Brendan Martin, the Aquatic and Biomonitoring Project Co-ordinator with U-Links and Jim Prince, the Vice-President of the Kennisis Lake Cottage Owners’ Association.

Dr. Charlotte Loppie is a Professor in the School of Public Health and Social Policy at the University of Victoria, and the Director of the university’s Centre for Indigenous Research and Community-Led Engagement. In this episode, we are a bit provocative in discussing cultural humility and safety. This will be an ongoing dialogue in order to build relationships in patient oriented research with under represented groups.
Natardia shares her Dragonfly Method, an arts-based research method that combines research with performance to engage the voices of the community members being researched. This responsible and culturally competent approach has been used to support Black women in exploring archetypes and stereotypes often imposed on us by the outside world. As a researcher and Drama Therapist, Natardia stresses the importance of serving as a guest when the researcher does not reflect the lived experience of the communities she is researching.

François Vallaeys is one of the contributing authors of the Global Guide to Balanced and Inclusive Education, and has long been an advocate of breaking down the silos, the ivory towers, that seem to define every facet of the educational experience at university – whether within the academic fields of research and teaching, in the university administration, or in the school’s relationship with the surrounding community. Here he discusses some of the ways universities can be opened to the world.
François Vallaeys est un des auteurs contributeurs au Guide Mondial d’éthique, de principes, de politiques et de pratiques en Éducation Équilibrée et Inclusive, et une forte voix faisant appel à dépasser les « tours d’ivoires » qui dominent tous les aspects de l’expérience universitaire traditionnel – que ce soit dans les domaines académiques de la recherche et l’enseignement, ou dans la gestion de l’université et ses relations avec la communauté générale.
Today’s show looks at a coalition to expand voting rights to immigrant residents in Boulder County, a project developed through the Puksta Scholars program at CU Boulder. The coalition is leading the movement to generate dialogues surrounding our country’s history of voting rights. Through their outreach, they will built the coalition even further to recruit volunteers for a ballot initiative in 2020, sustain our relationship with city council, and run focus groups within communities most impacted by this issue. The coalition strongly believes that every person deserves representation and the ability to make decisions on where they live. the show is hosted by Soraya Latiff who works for the Center for Community Based Research and Learning at CU Boulder. In her role at CU she works in storytelling for the Center and also worked as Project Manager for Puksta Scholars and had the pleasure of working closely with one of this episode’s guest, Emma Piller. Emma Piller who grew up in Lafayette, Colorado and just graduated from CU Boulder this May with a degree in English and a minor in Spanish and Leadership. Immigrant rights has always been a passion of hers and she aspires to become an immigration attorney. In her time at CU she was a part of the Puksta Foundation Scholarship that promoted civic engagement through scholarships. Her Puksta project explored the immigrant experience in Boulder County and in her third year at CU, Emma and seven of her peers joined together to expand voting rights to residents without full citizenship. In 2017, Emma and the team created a coalition to work in the Boulder community with the intention of generating dialogue on what it means to practice citizenship. Gabo Ortiz-Peña graduated from CU Boulder with his masters in Astrophysics and has been involved with the coalition since December 2017. He was at the INVST kick-off event where they had some great conversations around voting rights, and from there he ended up joining the coalition. He has been mostly involved in organizational and planning work, but also did a bit of outreach last summer.
In September, the 10K crew went on location to the 2017 Ontario Universities’ Fair, to interview a dozen higher ed leaders about trends in innovation. Celia Ross began teaching French Literature at Algoma in 1982, became Dean in 1997, and served as President from 1998 until 2010 – 12 busy years in which Algoma gained its independence from Laurentian University, and signed the Covenant with Shingwauk Education Trust. When her successor resigned in 2016, the board of governors appointed Celia Acting President until a search could be completed. (Asima Vezina, formerly the board chair, was appointed President in October 2017). In this special bonus episode, Ken asks Celia to answer 3 key questions about higher ed innovation. Innovations at Algoma? Algoma University is particularly noteworthy for its partnerships with First Nations peoples. The University is in a former Indian Residential School building, but is working to change the paradigm of education from colonial to a “two-way dialogue.” As a small university, Algoma demonstrates the continuing value of small undergraduate seminars from first year onward – although now it utilizes videoconferencing and other technologies to create small groups across a wide geography. Algoma’s Institute for Community-Based Research gives students research and volunteer experience, and even leads to paid internships. Again, the philosophy is one of collaboration, in which the communities grow their own solutions. The Decade Ahead? In a world of rapidly advancing automation and globalization, Celia predicts that university students will be increasingly international, and seek ever-narrower specializations. At the same time, with coming labour market disruptions, Celia anticipates that students will turn to their educations to bring meaning to their lives, resulting in a renaissance of interest in Philosophy, Religious Studies, the Humanities and Fine Arts. She also sees exciting developments in First Nations education coming thanks to Ontario’s funding of the Aboriginal Institutes Consortium. Universities will need to ensure that a diverse range of students feels comfortable on our campuses, and that all our students come to understand other cultures and histories. We need to be forerunners in the fight against ignorance and racism. Over the next decade, universities will increasingly partner with colleges, industry and other communities: “the days of the ivory tower are gone.” Culture of Innovation? Celia observes that it can be challenging to nurture a culture of innovation on campus. We need to value the innovators on campus, no matter how difficult or demanding they may seem. Leaders need to make time to discuss the big ideas, either in a strategic plan consultation process or during an off-site strategic retreat. Especially for isolated institutions, it is very important to bring in external speakers to spark new ideas. Our students are being encouraged to think innovatively, and you can see them becoming the leaders of tomorrow.

Dr. Charles Deutsch, Director of the Population Health Research Program of Harvard Catalyst, recounts his journey through academia and how he created success in the research world.
Author Marge Good discusses the results from this project which demonstrate that trial-specific acuity measurement is a better measure of workload than simply counting the number of patients. The ASCO Clinical Trial Workload Assessment Tool was shown to be feasible and useable in diverse community-based research settings.
In this episode I interview Dr. Maurice Elias, an accomplished author and professor of clinical psychology and clinical health at Rutgers University. He is also the director of the Rutgers Social-Emotional Learning Lab, and Academic Director of The Collaborative, Rutgers' Center for Community-Based Research and Service. Maurice and I talk about the importance of social emotional learning and character development, particularly when it comes to adolescents. We get into emotional intelligence, misconceptions about SEL, what's most important for school leaders to know, trauma-informed care, fostering a supportive climate, and mistakes to avoid. Maurice mentions several helpful links during the interview including the following: The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (http://www.casel.org/) http://character.org/ The National School Climate Center (http://www.schoolclimate.org/) He also blogs at edutopia.org: http://www.edutopia.org/user/67.

Episode 82: Today's episode of the Social Work Podcast is about how to balance the demands of doing good research with the passion that practitioners and advocates have for addressing the social problems that face their communities. My guests are Corey Shdaimah and Sanford Schram. I speak with Corey and Sandy about the differences between Participatory Action Research (PAR) and Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) and why they use PAR rather than CBPR in their work with communities. They give examples of how challenging it is to actually do PAR. They talked about the need to bridge the gap between research and practice and how that was one of their motivations for writing their text, Change Research. Throughout our conversation Sandy and Corey bring up lots of ideas that are perfect discussion points for research classes, both at the masters and doctoral level. For those of you interested in learning more about doing the kind of community-based change research that we talk about in today's episode, I posted a list of resources on socialworkpodcast.com that Corey very generously provided.
