The webinar will briefly review the theoretical bases of democracy and its requirements while illuminating the ways in which those requirements express political actions and values choices. The webinar discussion will then turn to applied approaches to rigorously engaging values discourse in the classroom without falling into partisan bickering or ideological straightjackets.

I am proud to announce the launch of a new open-source video research dissemination series called the Ten Minute Window (TMW). The TMW provides a platform through which researchers, within the space of no more than 10 minutes, may disseminate encapsulated summaries of their research findings or conceptual contributions. Content may range from findings associated with a specific Ìýstudy or a research program more broadly defined. Submissions are welcome from researchers working in education and the social and health sciences whose contributions align well with CRECS’ mission:
The Centre for Research on Educational and Community Services (CRECS) collaborates in research, evaluation, and training Ìýwith organizations in the educational, social service, and health sectors to improve social programs and policies for citizens, especially those facing social exclusion.
Through the TMWÌýCRECS intends to accelerate the dissemination of cutting edge research on educational and community interventions, and innovations in research and evaluation methodologies and to make such contributions widely accessible to research, educational, professional and lay communities.
Issues in the series are producedÌýby CRECSÌýand will be publishedÌýin the CRECS video library (Ìýsee knowledge Mobilization > Video Library) and made broadly available through the CRECSÌýYouTube Channel. The video segments will be produced in either French or English with closed captioning available in both official languages.
Volume 1 (2013) of the series consists of six episodes on research topics ranging from participatory evaluation to children in care to Photovoice to homelessness. The number of episodes per volume will vary; several are in the works for Volume 2 (2014).
Check out this years’ editions, and many more to come in the new year.
