AGE-WELL Webinar – From Exclusion to Inclusion: Compensation as a Best Practice in Research with Older People

Research often overlooks larger issues about meaningful participation and disadvantage, including for example, how practices of not-compensating particular groups, and/or restricting compensation as a form of control may sustain inequality. How can inclusive, equitable and fair compensation be achieved?

Dr. Amanda Grenier will share a 5-part Research Compensation Series produced by AGE-WELL’s CC1 team on Knowledge Mobilization. This webinar will start a conversation on the knowledge gap surrounding compensation, particularly with regards to older people from disadvantaged groups, and will offer guidelines for best equitable, inclusive, and fair research practices. This webinar is ideal for all researchers working with older people and will help you to:

• Understand the issues and knowledge gaps surrounding research compensation
• Critically consider existing research practices and design best practices of compensation
• Reframe research compensation through a lens of fairness, equity, and inclusion
• Develop collaborative strategies to include the voices and lived experiences of older people from marginalized or disadvantaged groups
