NW CASC Webinar: Environmental Science with (not at) Society

In this webinar, Drs. Ferguson, Meadow and Huntington will discuss recommendations from their new paper Making a Difference: Planning for Engaged Participation in Environmental Research, which examines the early stages of five collaborative research case studies to understand common factors that yielded meaningful impacts within short project timelines. They identify three factors that influenced the ability of these projects to produce positive social impacts: 1) the relative maturity of the relationships within the partnerships, 2) the intensity of the engagement efforts, and 3) the amount of contextual knowledge of the teams. The authors use these findings to provide considerations to account for at the beginning of collaborative research projects to increase the chance of achieving both meaningful scientific and societal outcomes.
