Subject: Community-based Research Conference
 
FYI    Upcoming Conference

****CALL FOR ABSTRACTS******
Application Deadline: March 15, 2004

The Institute for Community Research (ICR) in Hartford, CT is sponsoring
"Crossroads: Critical Issues in Community-Based Research Partnerships",
a national conference that will critically explore issues related to
community-based research partnerships, methodology, and methods of
dissemination. The conference will take place June 10-13, 2004 in
Hartford, CT.

ICR is currently accepting applications for workshop and panel
discussion proposals that address how class, ethnicity, race, gender,
culture and power impact research partnerships; gaps between communities
and the institutions that serve them (e.g., cultural institutions,
schools, clinics, after-school programs, political representatives); and
ways that participatory or collaborative research partnerships can
remedy these and other cultural, health, mental health, environmental
and economic policy oriented problems.

Recognizing that community-based collaborative research (CBCR) is a
growing field, the conference is aimed at developing a critical analysis
of current approaches which move us to the next level in improving our
relationships and methods. The conference will explore and critique core
dimensions of CBCR in the following areas: Theory, Ethics, Methods,
Skills, Use of Research Results and Topical Issues. (See
