CBAR Symposium - Action-Research Dialogue in Parc-Extension

[English will follow]

À Parc-Extension, la recherche-action est active de longue date. Depuis ses débuts, le Community-Based Action Research (CBAR) se mobilise pour valoriser des pratiques de recherches citoyennes, communautaires et universitaires, ancrées dans une approche éthique et de justice sociale. C’est dans cet esprit que le CBAR vous invite à son premier colloque de partages et de rencontres, intitulé « Dialogue de la recherche-action à Parc-Extension : un quartier sous pression, mais solidaire ».

Depuis de nombreuses années, le quartier est soumis à des pressions de gentrification et de déplacement. Ses résident-e-s subissent de plein fouet diverses formes de pressions, qu’elles soient légales, alimentaires, en matière de logement ou de santé… Pourtant, Parc-Ex se distingue par des solidarités partagées, où des groupes se mobilisent pour s’entraider, à travers des rôles et des pratiques diverses, multiples et uniques. 

Le CBAR vous invite donc à ce colloque pour échanger autour de résultats de recherches innovantes, de pratiques communautaires et pour réfléchir collectivement à ce qui signifie, pour nous, la recherche-action ancrée dans la communauté. Un rendez-vous à ne pas manquer le jeudi 16 avril prochain de 13h à 16h à Brique par Brique. 

Le colloque sera suivi d'un temps de réseautage, avec collations et boissons.

Since the beginning of the Community-Based Action Research (CBAR) Network in Parc-Extension, particular attention has been given to community-based research in the neighbourhood, with a strong emphasis on socially just, ethical, and relevant research practices. Over the past few years, many researchers have joined CBAR with the goal of better understanding community needs and concerns, and of reshaping their work accordingly. Researchers have been listening to the voices of community groups, while community groups have actively collaborated with researchers by supporting, engaging in, and contributing to research processes.

In this spirit, CBAR is pleased to use its collective capacity to create a space that brings together researchers who have worked in the neighbourhood with residents and community organizers over the last few years. This moment of exchange will allow participants to discuss the types of research that have taken place in Parc-Extension, as well as the prospects and priorities for future research. In this regard, CBAR invites you to its first symposium for sharing and exchange of research conducted in the neighbourhood, entitled Action-Research Dialogue in Parc-Extension: A Neighbourhood Under Pressure Yet United.

For many years, Parc-Extension has been subject to pressures related to gentrification and displacement. Residents experience various forms of eviction-related pressures, whether legal, food-related, housing-related, or health-related. Yet Parc-Ex stands out for its strong culture of solidarity, where groups mobilize to support one another through diverse, multiple, and unique roles and practices. Through this event, we aim to explore how different research initiatives have addressed a range of issues and to collectively reshape directions for future research. You are invited to this symposium to engage in dialogue around innovative research findings and community-based practices, and to collectively reflect on what community-anchored action research means to us. Don’t miss this event on Thursday, April 16, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., at Brique par Brique.

Networking, refreshements and snacks to follow!
