Da Hood Talks Takeover — Beyond Good Intentions: Bridging the Gap between Black Communities and Research Communities takes place November 15th from 11-1pm at the Taylor Avenue Building (TAB). Da Hood Talks Entertainment is taking over Collaborative Café to host a three-part series about ethical community engagement in research. The first two candid discussions requests that researchers sit back and hear directly from community members about harms caused by academic institutions, which have minimized community expertise and decentered research aims to help. The third event in this series will invite researchers to ask questions about ethical and effective community engagement in research, share challenges in putting community relationship-building principles into action, and collaborate around solutions. Attendees should be prepared to actively listen, examine their own role in distrust created by these systems, and identify ways to move beyond good intentions to build better relationships.
