Institute for Community Research - Venue 2017

Connecticut Historical Society

Now housed in the historic Connecticut Historical Society museum building, The Institute for Community Research features exquisite traditional crafts by local artists from Burma, Bosnia, Somalia, Romania and Iran. Find them right inside the main door in the Living Room!

The Institute for Community Research conducts research in collaboration with community partners to promote justice and equity in a diverse, multiethnic, multicultural world. We engage in and support community-based research partnerships to reverse inequities, promote positive changes in public health and education, and foster cultural conservation and development. Communities worldwide are working to access resources and develop the skills needed to direct and control their own futures. Through the use of community-based research, ICR is narrowing the gap between research and practice by working with real communities on real issues.

We look forward to welcoming ICR on the 2018 OSH tour once again!
