Knowledge production

Centre staff working on the CURA project

Social innovation building block #1

Gather and analyze information that better informs people working for social change.

Gaining deeper understanding is more than an academic exercise. CCBR is a leader in using participatory action research in a way that makes research relevant and useful for communities while still maintaining academic excellence. How knowledge is produced is as important as its content.
CCBR case examples: Qualitative Research | Innovations in Building and Using Logic Models | Rethinking Systems Change: The Implications for Evaluation |

"The world of ideas and the world of action are not separate...but inseparable parts of each other...The man and woman of action have no less responsibility to know and understand than does the scholar."
