Teaching Immigration Differently: University Classroom as an Incubator for Collaborative Research

In Fall 2019, a new course on immigration research was launched at Dalhousie University. The course was designed to develop research that caters to the interest of community partners. This form of university course transforms the classroom space into an incubator for collaborative research that produces research relevant for community partners, while students learn from experts and produce research. In this workshop, the instructor of the course will present the overview of the course and the community partners are invited to speak about their experience in this course; and together we will discuss lessons learnt and the ways forward.
