This is a collaborative research and learning team with Dr. Orna Shemer, the Myers-JDC-Brookdale Institute for Applied Research and other interested parties from the field. To strengthen the integration of 'knowledge from experience' or ‘life knowledge’ in the field and in academia, the learning and research group will research and develop the practices of professionals through a ‘knowledge from experience’ design.

The research will invite critical thinking and the development of actionable knowledge through participatory approaches while working with different communities and contexts, such as people living in poverty, people with disabilities and their families, and more.
