This is a Virtual Event.

Please join the Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program and community partners, Detroit Disability Power, Detroit Justice Center, and We the People Michigan for a webinar to discuss the Community Partnerships Playbook: How to Create Equitable Partnerships Between Technical and Community Experts, a collaborative  guide for creating more equitable partnerships between technical and community experts. The Playbook brings together advice from staff at DDP, DJC, and WTPMI who have had a range of both positive and negative experiences with researchers, academics, and technologists, along with insights developed from STPP’s Community Partnerships Initiative (CPI) and up-to-date scholarly literature.

Panelists will share highlights from the Playbook and talk about practical advice and real world examples from their experiences on both sides of community partnerships. There will be also be time for Q&A from attendees.
