VIRTUAL BROWN BAGS
For NNERPP members only
Our next Virtual Brown Bag is coming up on Friday, September 25, at 3 pm ET / 2 pm CT / 12 pm PT!
Presenter:
Paula Arce-Trigatti, NNERPP
Topic:
At this summer’s Annual Forum, we invited a team from Chicago Beyond to present their guidebook, “Why am I always being researched?”, and to lead us in an initial conversation about the 7 inequities that get in the way of the truth when conducting research. In this virtual brown bag, we invite NNERPP members to continue the conversation by taking a reflective look at their own RPPs with respect to the first three inequities: access, validity, and information. Paula will facilitate an exploratory discussion with participants about how these three inequities show up in our work and what, if any, strategies teams are using to address them.
