Research in marginalized communities, she explains, often involves collecting data without collaboration or returning findings in accessible ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jeffrey Squire<\/strong>, an instructor in the Department of Social Science and co-principal investigator, notes this top\u2011down approach is common in academia. \u201cWe undertake research that affects the lives of a community, but often their input is limited,\u201d he says. \u201cWe wanted to incorporate those voices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cluster members began by meeting with local organizations, including Toronto\u2019s Black Creek Community Health Centre, to discuss research opportunities. Rather than arriving with a fixed agenda, researchers outlined their goals transparently and asked, \u201cWhat would make sense for you as a partner in knowledge creation?\u201d Those discussions led to more in-depth engagement through town halls with the broader communities, ensuring priorities reflected lived concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a public town hall in the Jane and Finch neighbourhood, residents spoke candidly about challenges \u2013 from vaccine hesitancy to unequal access to care \u2013 and emphasized that inquiry should reflect real, everyday priorities. This reinforced that meaningful research requires listening first and allowing community concerns to shape questions, methods and outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cluster extended its approach internationally, connecting with think tanks, advocacy organizations and local health groups across six African countries, including Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria and Uganda. These partnerships were central to its transnational mandate: to link Black communities in Canada and Africa for knowledge sharing on how epidemics are experienced and managed in different social and health contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2026\/02\/Jeffrey-Squire.jpg\" alt=\"Jeffrey Squire\" class=\"wp-image-404191\" style=\"width:203px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2026\/02\/Jeffrey-Squire.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2026\/02\/Jeffrey-Squire-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jeffrey Squire<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Early conversations revealed a common concern that partners valued collaboration on data collection but wanted supporting research. \u201cMany of those groups talked about the fact that conducting research was important because the data was helpful for them, but they also wanted research that would be helpful for their work \u2013 not necessarily research questions that would be helpful only to us,\u201d Bawa recalls. In response, the cluster created small internal grants for co\u2011developed projects and committed to shared authorship, ensuring collaborators were involved in producing publications and other knowledge outputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three years into its efforts, the initiative has now entered what Bawa describes as its \u201cresearch dissemination phase.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Findings will be published, such as a forthcoming open\u2011access paper co\u2011written with Black women leaders in the Greater Toronto Area about guiding communities through the pandemic. It has also contributed to other research examining how the pandemic intersected with gender\u2011based violence in ways relevant to advocacy and intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Impact on the community remains central, and Bawa stresses the importance of providing accessibility through open\u2011access venues and plain-language reporting. Published findings are structured so community partners can provide feedback, engage with findings and see their voices reflected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research is also shared through interactive forums to foster dialogue and bring together scholars and community partners to exchange insights and reflect on findings. Last fall, the Community Research Showcase and Gathering at York\u2019s Keele Campus featured presentations of funded projects alongside community\u2011led reflections, with panels deliberately weighted toward community voices. African collaborators joined via Zoom, while local organizations, including Toronto Public Health and grassroots health groups, participated in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the event, Bawa and Squire observed how meaningful the work \u2013 and the international engagement \u2013 has become. \u201cThere\u2019s a real appetite for this kind of work,\u201d Squire says, noting one participant in Africa logged in by generator after losing electricy and another found the session so valuable they stayed up until 2 a.m. local time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cluster plans to continue meeting that appetite. Members are translating findings into practical recommendations, organizing an academic-community panel for an upcoming Canadian Association of African Studies conference and planning public showcases focused on Canadian and African contexts to ensure ongoing transnational knowledge exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These efforts of the cluster have real\u2011world stakes; since SARS in the early 2000s, major epidemics have emerged every few years, says Squire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, with networks firmly in place across Canada and Africa, lessons learned through the cluster's work can travel faster and reach the contexts where they matter most when health crises emerge. \u201cThrough our research, through talking to people, through observing what is going on in communities and overseas, we are able to disseminate information that now will be very useful in addressing responses,\u201d Squire says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Overcoming Epidemics
