This year's theme is "from research to practice and back again." We will learn about the challenges and opportunities of knowledge mobilization and translation, navigating the relationship between theory and practice, thinking about the impacts of research on policy and/or practice (and the impacts of practice on research) and more.
All 小黄书视频 faculty, students, postdoctoral fellows, and staff are welcome to attend. Registration details will be emailed to 小黄书视频 community members.
