Changemakers

Dr. Cox received Research and Professional Development funds to form collaborative youth workshops in the area of climate change as part of the ResiliencebyDesign research lab.

The work covered by this grant builds on and compliments the ongoing work of the ResiliencebyDesign (RbD) research lab to design and deliver workshops with youth that combine primary research with skill/capacity development in the area of climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction and transformative learning with youth. The funds will be used to deepen our collaboration and conversations with youth and members of the RbD Lab with a focus on identifying through discussion and activities the key values, principles, actions and goals of effective youth-adult partnerships in research and action. The output of this work will be represented in a graphic mural that will be shared on campus during the RbD Open House and Library Event in April 2018.
