CONVERGE Reciprocity in Hazards and Disaster Research Training Module: A Demonstration Webinar

Time

13:00 - 13:30 (GMT -7)

This webinar will provide a demonstration of the recently released CONVERGE Reciprocity in Hazards and Disaster Research Training Module. This module focuses on the reciprocal relationship between researchers and disaster-affected people and communities, with an emphasis on ensuring that research is beneficial to all participants.

If you are an educator, student, researcher, or other professional hoping to learn more about this free, online resource, please join us from 1:00 to 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 10, 2022.

This interactive webinar will provide an overview of what reciprocity means, why it is important for conducting ethical research, and how hazards and disaster researchers can effectively practice reciprocity in their work. The presenters will also offer tips for how you can integrate the Reciprocity in Hazards and Disaster Research Training Module into your classroom or use it to advance your research. In addition, you will see how the module functions and be able to view the resources associated with it.

This new module, like the others in the series, concludes with a 10-question quiz. Upon successful completion of the quiz, users receive a certificate, which is worth one contact hour of general management training through the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM) certification program.

The CONVERGE Reciprocity in Hazards and Disaster Research Training Module—developed with support from the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Science Foundation—is now available via the CONVERGE website. We encourage you to access it as well as the CONVERGE Assignment Bank and Annotated Bibliographies in advance of the webinar.
