The 2016-17 academic year was one of significant achievement for the Trent Community聽Research Centre. After a modest year in 2015-16 with only one full-time staff member聽focused on projects, September 2016 saw the appointment of the Centre鈥檚 first post-doctoral聽fellow. Dr. David Tough joined the Centre on a 4 day-a-week contract to take on project聽coordination and development, and also perform research into community-based research聽methods.
The result was something of a record year of projects with 44 community-based聽research projects and one community service learning project completed by 139 students.聽These projects ranged across the academic disciplines from history to psychology, from聽environmental studies to cultural studies and included in-class group projects, half and full聽year CBR projects and double-credit thesis projects. A number of graduate projects also聽continued throughout the year. For the first time, the spring Celebration of Research was a聽Trent only endeavour and was held in the Great Hall in Champlain College. Some 42 projects were presented to聽the Peterborough community, students and faculty (see page seven for a detailed report on the Celebration).
