| Bridging Divides TMU 2025 Fall Research RetreatThe Bridging Divides biannual retreats at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) aim to foster collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing among researchers working on various projects within the Bridging Divides program at TMU. It's an opportunity to network, exchange ideas, and explore collective solutions to challenges in your research.
Hosted by Josephine Wong, TMU Immigrant Health & Wellbeing Theme Lead, this retreat will focus on research practice centered around meaningful engagement and equitable partnership. The retreat provides a platform for researchers to share community-focused projects at various stages and to receive valuable feedback from an interdisciplinary audience of Bridging Divides researchers. We will hear from colleagues who work in close partnership with the community and whose work incorporates innovative participatory methodologies.
