[van-announce] List Announcement

[arx.outreach]

Hello,

I am the ARX Community Outreach Liaison at SFPIRG, and I am contacting you
to let you know of a valuable resource that is available to community
groups. The Action Research eXchange (ARX) facilitates community research by
allowing community groups to design projects for interested SFU students to
complete as part of their course credit. ARX projects can be almost
anything, ranging from designing outreach materials to research papers.

I hope that you will help us spread the word about ARX by announcing the
following message on your mailing list. The ARX poster is attached. If you
know of any marginalized, grassroots organizations that need research,
please let me know at arx.outreach at sfpirg.ca.

Priority will be given to grassroots organizations working on the following
topics: international solidarity, anti-war/anti-imperialism, labour, media
analysis research, queer studies, seniors’ issues, housing,
immigrant/refugees, ethnicity/race studies, education, indigenous rights,
disability issues, and social justice/human rights.


Thank you!

SFPIRG Action Research eXchange: put the world of academia to work for you!

Are you a local non-profit or grassroots community organization with no time
or money for research? The Action Research eXchange (ARX) facilitates
community research by allowing community groups to design projects for
interested SFU students to complete as part of their coursework. An SFU

project a reality!

Submit project proposals online at www.sfpirg.ca/arx/apply/. The deadline
for the fall 2011 semester is July 18, 2011. Proposals are accepted
throughout the year.

Priority will be given to grassroots organizations working on the following
topics: international solidarity, anti-war/anti-imperialism, labour, media
analysis research, queer studies, seniors’ issues, housing,
immigrant/refugees, ethnicity/race studies, education, Indigenous rights,
disability issues, and social justice/human rights.
