MacEwan University’s General Faculties Council has approved the establishment of three research groups to foster collaboration on core societal issues. The Black Community Research and Innovation Group will address health and socioeconomic disparities in Black communities, the Indigenous Research Group will support research grounded in Indigenous knowledge systems and reconciliation goals, and the Research Group for Inclusive Experiential Learning will develop strategies to reduce barriers in experiential learning environments. The groups are designed to bring together diverse expertise and strengthen partnerships across disciplines and communities. “Research groups are a way to build something bigger and more substantial than is possible through a small, siloed team of scholars,” said MacEwan Associate Vice-President, Research Dr Craig Kuziemsky.
