You are Here
A Research Program Funded by the Vancouver Foundation and SSHRC, and a Key Project Supported by the City of Kamloops through a Mitacs Grant and the University’s Researcher-in-Residence Initiative.
Introduction to You are Here
The You are Here project explores how cultural mapping and community-engaged research can inform the development of the City’s new Cultural Strategic Plan. Linking the RiR to city-driven project work provides an in-depth opportunity for partnership development, networking and intersectoral team building—creating real world opportunities to complement or replace more top-down public consultation methodologies (e.g., the survey, the public hearing, and the expert-led focus group), all the while affording enhanced student training opportunities and increasing participation of those with lived/living experience.
