The Charlotte Action Research Project (CHARP) will host a neighborhood campus forum from 5:45 to 8 p.m., Wednesday, May 29, in Cone University Center, Room 210.
According to organizers, the forum is designed to connect UNC Charlotte faculty, staff and students with research opportunities with residents of Charlotte’s low-income and minority neighborhoods.
During a series of workshops, CHARP partners identified five research themes for further study: neighborhood change, spatial justice, empowerment and citizen rights, communities and schools and neighborhood safety.
Forum attendees will have the opportunity to learn about these themes and speak with residents one-on-one about research interests and identify areas for collaboration.
A dinner will be provided; email RSVPs to Thomas Howarth at thowarth@uncc.edu. The Chancellor’s Diversity Challenge Fund is providing support for this event.
