Residency details

During her time at King's College, Dr. Jackson will convene knowledge sharing and capacity building sessions for students, staff and faculty with interest in critical community engagement, research impact, and knowledge exchange/mobilization. The goals of this residency include: knowledge sharing workshops to enhance collaborative practices at both institutions; cross-mentorship and development of an international community-engaged community of practice; and the creation of resources to continue capacity development. Dr. Jackson and AHRI staff and King’s researchers will disseminate methodological insights from this collaboration through at least one co-authored article for peer-reviewed publication about their learning, methodological innovations, and knowledge co-creation in an international context.
