Engaging Co-Production to Address Maladaptation in Climate Change Research

Date

Thursday January 26, 2023
12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

Location

** CHANGED TO VIRTUAL-ONLY ***

The Vice-Principal Research Portfolio invites you to join us for an R4R@Q on Maladaptation and Co-production with a presentation by Dr. Marcus Taylor.

Maladaptation and Co-production: Big terms, but what do they mean for grant applications?
Granting agencies have increasingly focused on funding climate change research projects that address ‘maladaptation’ by using methodologies focused on the ‘co-production’ of knowledge. Dr. Marcus Taylor talks through what the concept of maladaptation entails, how it was integrated into the IPCC’s new approach to climate change policy, and provides examples from his work in rural India. Conversely, granting agencies increasingly emphasise that the co-production of knowledge with impacted communities is a potential solution to maladaptation. Overviewing different co-production approaches, Dr. Taylor cautions that there are sharp debates over what co-production means in both theory and practice and suggests some potential pathways forward.

RDM Information Series 2: Session 1 - Research Data Management and You

Date

Wednesday January 18, 2023
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

The Queen’s Data Champions (qDC) hosted the first session of our RDM Brown Bag Information Series to learn about research data management, including what it is, why it is important, and how it might impact you. You will also learn about the three pillars of the Tri-Agency RDM Policy and how the second and third pillars (data management plans and data deposits, respectively) may impact your grant applications and/or research projects in 2023. The qDC will also introduce you to the Queen’s University Institutional RDM Strategy and how you can provide feedback on the strategy.

R4R@Q Session - Accessibility in Research: From Design to Dissemination

Date

Wednesday March 1, 2023
10:00 am - 11:30 am

Location

Virtual session

The Vice-Principal Research Portfolio is pleased to host a webinar dedicated to Accessibility in Research.  This Resources for Research at Queen’s (R4R@Q) session will be jointly presented by the Co-chair of SSHRC's Advisory Committee on Accessibility and Systemic Ableism Dr. Stefan Sunandan Honisch and the Queen’s Manager for Accessibility Services, Andrew Ashby.


Stefan Sunandan Honisch will provide an overview of “Accessibility in Research: From Design to Dissemination” a toolkit that he helped develop for Royal Roads University. The toolkit suggests guiding questions and offers concrete recommendations for conducting research that incorporates disability inclusion and access into all phases of a project.
 

Andrew Ashby will provide a foundational knowledge of accessibility and reducing barriers:

  • Why is accessibility important?
  • Understanding Accessibility vs Accommodation
  • Accessibility barriers
  • Increasing accessibility with some easy and quick accessibility wins
     

Through participation in this workshop, you will learn:

  • how to use the toolkit in different research and teaching contexts
  • how to move beyond approaches that react to disability through ad hoc individual accommodations
  • how to develop disability-inclusive methods of data collection and analysis

 

A moderated question-and-answer session will follow the workshop.

 

Accessibility:

  • ASL-English
  • CART – Communication Access Realtime Translation
