Big news! I am thrilled to announce the official launch of the City Community Research and Learning Collaborative (CCRLC) alongside my colleague, Aditi Mehta. 🌐 Explore our new digital home here: https://lnkd.in/e2G6kNyF The City Collaborative is designed to serve as a hub for community-engaged scholarship and work, bringing together students, faculty, and community partners to tackle "wicked" urban challenges. Our mission is to move beyond traditional academic boundaries by learning with and from communities to advance social justice and more equitable urban futures. What we do: • Community-Engaged Research: Utilizing methodologies that centre community perspectives and needs to address critical issues like housing equity, climate resiliency, and neighbourhood stigma. • Innovative Pedagogy: Designing educational experiences that bring the classroom into the city, including "inside-out" courses and placements led by community practitioners. • Collaborative Action: Hosting workshops and events to share best practices and collectively imagine better urban possibilities. Our current projects range from assessing the human rights implications of mega-events like FIFA 2026, to rethinking community safety and policing, to supporting urban change initiatives in Moss Park and Regent Park. A huge thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey so far—especially our website designers, Tony C. and Felicity Heyworth, and our institutional partners, the Department of Geography and Planning and the School of Cities, University of Toronto. We are excited to continue this work of centering hope and actionable interventions in our cities. I invite you to explore the site, learn more about our projects, and reach out if you see opportunities for collaboration. #UrbanStudies #CommunityEngagement #SocialJustice #HigherEd #UrbanPlanning #CityBuilding #Toronto #UofT | 10 comments on LinkedIn
