Better together: Research Partnerships for Real World Impact

Session Submission Type: Invited Session (90 minute)

Description

This plenary session highlights the power—and necessity—of collaboration between academics and practitioners in addressing complex social problems. Featuring three academic–practitioner partnerships focused on housing, policing, and organizational change, the panelists will explore what academics and non-academics can learn from one another: how practitioners’ experiential knowledge can sharpen research relevance, how academic tools can deepen understanding and evaluation, and how collaboration can lead to positive social change and reveal new scientific insights.
