Join speaker Alec Greenwald, Director of the Southeast Regional Coalition for University-Assisted Community Schools at Duke University for a discussion on Community School Partnerships, moderated by Dr. Whitney McCoy.
The Equity in Research Learning Collaborative series serves as an opportunity for our staff to learn how to make CCFP research more equitable with respect to race, ethnicity, and other forms of diversity at all stages from conceptualization to recruitment to data collection to analysis and reporting of findings.
