DataCenter will be offering our 7th annual Research Justice Training Academy (February 20 - 21, 9am - 5pm) - an intensive, hands-on, capacity building program created specifically for community organizers and advocates for environmental justice and health. Does your organization want to design and conduct your own research, on your own terms? Want to learn investigative campaign research techniques and social science documentation methods to to strengthen the impact of your social change strategy? Are you interested in developing your organization's capacity to proactively engage in or initiate research partnerships with allied academics and researchers? DataCenter believes that community-driven research and data-collecting skills, guided by strategic assessment of expert community knowledge/ information tools needed to advance organizing strategies, can help communities take strategic action, develop grassroots leadership, and build grassroots political power.
