The Morgridge Center plans a series of workshops for faculty and staff, based on what Community-based Learning instructors have shared they would like more support with.
Presenters include graduate students, faculty/staff and community partners. This series showcases the breadth of community-based research on campus by providing in-depth examples of current research as it relates to students learning outcomes, community impacts and theoretical exploration.
Developing, Funding, Hiring, and Supporting Research Pathways for Lived Experience Experts in Community-Engaged Research
Wednesday, April 8 l 12-1pm l Virtual
Dr. Lara Gerassi, School of Social Work and Cassandra Eng
Community-engaged research requires meaningful engagement of and leadership from people with lived experiences of the phenomenon of study. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss strategies to support (1) people with lived experiences navigating potential careers in research, and (2) researchers (with and without lived experiences) and their institutions to fund, hire, and support the research pathways of lived experience experts. We draw from our work in the fields of sex work and sex trafficking, as well as extant literature, to describe known systemic barriers and our personal experiences as well as the strategies to institutionally and interpersonally support lived experience experts in research.

Community Partnerships & Outreach Staff Network members share a vision of the Wisconsin Idea that recognizes community members as full partners, essential to the engaged, collaborative work that transforms our communities and institutions for the public good.
The Community Partnerships and Outreach (CPO) Staff Network was established in 2008 as a community of practice of University of Wisconsin–Madison staff members who span the boundaries between campus and community. Staff members are the “brand representatives” of the Wisconsin Idea.
CPO Staff Network professionals facilitate projects, programs, services and relationships with community partners that are sustained, mutually beneficial, equitable and respectful of the knowledge, values, priorities, resources and needs of all partners. Visit the CPO staff network page for upcoming meetings.
