I think you're right. The point of view from which I come is, as you said.... Our sector is undertaking research always in a partnered approach. We start from the point of view that we are responding to problems identified by community organizations, by business partners or by others in the community, a particular problem that they think is important to solve, and they want to know if the college can work with them on that. By being accessible and open to responding to these business or community problems, we're already getting a diversity of perspectives.
I do think it's really important to have a diversity of perspectives on a research problem, as well as a diversity of lenses on the benefits of research. I think this is the other part. I'm really interested in talking about broadening review committees to include a representative set of voices that includes end-users, those for whom the research is, perhaps, intended to benefit. How does it benefit people differently? This is where I think we need to also be thinking about a diversity of approaches—who's on the team and also who's benefiting from the research. That is a part of where we're interested in looking at a rebalancing.
