What does community-engaged research look like in practice, and how can researchers navigate the complexities that arise from community involvement? In this special "Ask Me Anything" session, recorded live at the 2025 UBC Partnering in Research Conference, our speakers tackle these questions and more, sharing insights and practical strategies for effective community engagement.Featured speakers include Katherine Cheng (Downtown Eastside SRO Collaborative), Dr. Michelle Stack (UBC Department of Educational Studies), and Bruce Moghtader (UBC Centre for Community Engaged Learning). As an interactive event, the episode also features reflections and questions from audience members.Together, they explore what it means for research to be truly community-led, the importance of equitable funding practices, and the need for flexible, renegotiable agreements that reflect community timelines over academic pressures. The discussion also surfaces institutional barriers that continue to challenge community-university collaboration, including tenure and promotion systems that undervalue engagement.Listeners will also gain strategies for approaching trauma-informed topics, navigating internal community dynamics, and ensuring accessibility across all stages of partnered research.This episode is part of “Challenges in Partnered Research,” a Q&A series by Partnering in Research that highlights individuals transforming policies, practices, and communities through collaborative research. This is one of three sessions recorded live at the UBC Partnering in Research Conference at UBC Robson Square on June 12th, 2025.
