Description

Understanding research and how knowledge is produced is crucial for people who work and live in urban and inner-city spaces. Students examine theory, approaches, and methods of urban research, focusing on inner-city and community contexts. Students learn to select, apply, and practice hands-on methods, and gain skills relevant for careers in academic, community-based, policy, and professional fields. Topics include anti-racist, Indigenous, and feminist approaches to research, power dynamics and ethical considerations, critical and community-based approaches to research design, and the communication and mobilization of research results.
