Equitable community participation and marginalised groups

Research group manager

Anita Berg

Responsible units(s)

Description

The group profile focuses on research and development work aimed at knowledge about community participation, activity and cooperation for marginalised groups. In the field of community participation, the group develops knowledge of how the voice of marginalised groups can be heard, both in society in general as well as through self-determination in his or her own life. A key focus is how groups at risk can influence assistance and welfare services, participate in work life as well as in meaningful cultural and leisure activities in their everyday lives. The group will also contribute with groundbreaking knowledge of how to facilitate activities that allow people with physical impairments to develop their own resources through participation in meaningful activity together with others. The research group will also focus on developing further knowledge of the opportunities and obstacles for cooperation between different parts of the public service sector when it comes to maintaining the users’ rights and influence in health and care services. The group has six objectives: 1. Be a meeting place for academic staff and students at Nord University who wants to conduct/are working with R&D activities related to community participation, activity, and cooperation. 2. Strengthen the members research competence, -capacity and -network. 3 Contribute to increase scientific- and methodological publication in various formats to make our research results easily accessible. 4 Initiate collaborative research projects together different stakeholder groups to strengthen knowledge-based development of municipal health and welfare services for marginalized and vulnerable groups 5. Contribute to relevant research networks both nationally as well as internationally and 6. Strengthen research-based teaching in the faculty’s study programs. The group organises at least two seminars per semester and also organises a workshop on a relevant theme during the academic year. The group currently consists of approximately 10 core members, including a reader, associate professors, and doctoral candidates, who are employed at the faculty. Additionally, the group has affiliated members, including national and international collaborators.
