Description:

Join us for this informal interactive session to meet and connect with Shehara Waas, the new Community Co-Director for Northwestern’s Alliance for Research in Chicagoland Communities. This is one step to ensure that we reflect in our own structure and leadership the same things we advocate for in research partnerships, projects, and across the research enterprise-- community leadership and shared and collective power and decision-making.

In addition to getting to know her and learning about her role at ARCC, we will structure our time to hear from participants about the ways they would like to see ARCC continue to evolve.

Background: Established in 2008, the Alliance for Research in Chicagoland Communities (ARCC) supports authentic community-academic research partnerships between Chicagoland communities and Northwestern University that benefit the people being researched and improve health and equity. ARCC advocates for a collaborative approach to research that honors, is driven by, and shares power with communities, as local, cultural, and lived experience experts. ARCC is guided by our Community-Academic Steering Committee comprised of thirteen community-and faith-based organizations, two public agencies, and eleven Northwestern faculty and staff. ARCC is a program of the Center for Community Health serving Northwestern’s Institute for Public Health & Medicine (IPHAM) and the Northwestern University Clinical & Translational Science (NUCATS) Institute.
