Conference Goal
Collaborations in Rural Arts & Cultural Wealth Practice & Scholarship
During these two half-day conversations, participants will have an opportunity to explore the mutual benefits that can be attained through collaborative research between rural arts and cultural wealth community practitioners and research scholars. In plenary sessions and panel presentations and discussions, community practitioners will engage in conversation with research scholars on questions that will inform and impact the field, such as:
- What has worked for you that researchers can study and share with the field?
- What often gets in the way of your effectiveness that researchers should examine for potential solutions?
- How would you like your work to connect to research?
- What approaches have researchers conducting participatory action research developed that make community collaborations successful?
