Community-engaged research encompasses a wide array of approaches that facilitate community involvement in various stages of the research process. Researchers are advised to develop strategies and processes that engage and connect community stakeholders and groups to research project including rationale, design, data gathering protocols, and evaluation measures. Often missing, however, is attention on the work that researchers need to do to become aware of their own positionality vis-a-vis the community.

Cheryl Hyde, PhD, MSW will present on the concept of cultural humility, defined as a lifelong process of critical self-reflection and discovery, and how such an approach is essential to building authentic relationships that serve as the foundation for genuine community-engaged research.
