Research Assistants
The CCR Project began by providing opportunities to undergraduate students at MacEwan and graduate students at the University of Alberta to conduct short research reports (see list of publications).
The most recent line of research continues to employ student research assistants to collect and analyze data, as well as to write research reports and develop other methods to share results (infographics, data visualizations, videos).
