Upcoming Virtual Think Tank with Lynton Award Recipient on Community-Based Participatory Research

NERCHE’s Virtual Think Tanks are webinars designed for higher education practitioners engaged in collaborative change processes which address social justice in a diverse democracy. The Center's spring 2014 Virtual Think Tanks will focus on community engagement in teaching and learning, research, and institutional structures within higher education.

Dr. Farrah Jacquez (University of Cincinnati) will be presenting a Virtual Think Tank, “Promoting Health Equity through Community Engaged Scholarship,” on March 5, 2014, 12:00–1:30 P.M. (Eastern). This webinar will analyze strategies — based on a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) orientation — for engaging community organizations and stakeholders in health equity teaching and research. Additionally, Dr. Jacquez will explore how young faculty using CBPR as a framework for starting an academic career have the opportunity to not only meet the requirements of promotion and tenure but also impact the health of local communities. Challenges of engaging communities pretenure and specific strategies used to address those obstacles will also be examined.

In 2013, Dr. Jacquez received NERCHE's annual Lynton Award for the Scholarship of Engagement for Early Career Faculty.
