The 4 videos of the 2nd SSHRC Quality Partnership Online Convention are now freely available

Recordings of the 4 sessions of the SSHRC Quality Partnership’s second online convention are now freely available.

The research partnership is entitled Quality in Canada’s Built Environment: Roadmaps to Equity, Social Value and Sustainability, and brings together 14 universities, 70 researchers and nearly 70 institutions, cities and citizen groups until 2027.

This second meeting took place online and in 4 stages corresponding to 4 themes for open, free, creative and critical discussions:

• November 7: Minimum quality thresholds
• November 8: The intersection or tension between sustainability and accessibility issues
• November 14: Establishing shared values in a diversity of viewpoints
• November 16: Gathering lived experience to enhance the quality of built environments

Each meeting brought together over sixty participants, including students from coast to coast, for 90 minutes.

Recordings can be found in the “Partnership” section of the Living Atlas of Quality in the Built Environment.

Synthesis reports will be produced in winter 2024, in time for the 3rd in-person convention to be held in Halifax in May 2024.
