The University of Alberta is offering two community based research related events that may be of interest to those who are part of the What Sorts Community. Why? Much of the research that our members participate in is directly related to the experiences of actual people in actual communities and one of our major non-research related goals is strengthening ties between universities and the people and organizations that exist around them.
Please note that registration deadlines for the following events are close at hand!
