UBC SHARE

This week, we are featuring a website with interactive data visualization elements created in Dr. Richard Arias-Hernandez INFO 419 classroom, based on the article “Incarceration Among Street-Involved Youth in a Canadian Study: Implications for Health and Policy Interventions” by John Omura, Evan Wood, Paul Nguyen, Thomas Kerr, and Kora DeBeck. Students Talia Kainz, Naraa Little, Kate MacLeod, and Aidan Scott created this data visualization website as part of their coursework. Through the project, they developed skills in writing clear, accessible summaries and translating complex data into engaging, interactive formats. Their work was published on the DTES RAP and presented at a community share-back event!

UBC SHARE x Vancouver Public Library at the Mount Pleasant Branch The UBC SHARE Project has moved from VPL Central Branch and is on display at the VPL Mount Pleasant Branch! Come explore a collection of student projects that translate scholarly research about the Downtown Eastside (DTES) into engaging, accessible formats for the community. Thank you again Nick Ubels, for facilitating this partnership, providing continuous support, and helping bridge the gap between research and community.

Over the past year, we were fortunate to receive TLEF funding from the UBC Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology, which allowed us to expand our small project into seven classrooms at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Over the coming weeks, we will be showcasing the student work published this past year, alongside highlights from faculty experiences. This week, we are featuring an infographic created in Dr. Kasim Husain's MDIA 150 classroom, based on the article “Assembling ‘Japantown’? A critical toponymy of urban dispossession in Vancouver, Canada” by Dr. Trevor Wideman and Dr. Jeff Masuda Students Hayne Cho, Cecilia Zhu, Sammy Su, and Serena Wang created this infographic as part of their coursework. Through this project, they learned how to write plain-language summaries, design infographics, and learn about meaningful community-engaged research. Their work has been published on the DTES RAP and was presented during a community share-back event.

UBC SHARE x Vancouver Public Library at the Central Branch. Come explore the amazing student projects that translate scholarly research about the Downtown Eastside (DTES) into accessible and engaging formats for the community. These projects highlight the importance of bringing research back to the community and making knowledge useful, relevant, and respectful of the people it represents. Thank you Nick Ubels for facilitating this partnership and helping bridge the gap between research and community. Thank you UBC Learning Exchange for sharing copies of the Research 101 Manifesto.

Welcome to the UBC SHARE (Students Harnessing Academic Research for Exchange) page! Our project aims to improve access to both academic research and community-produced resources, with a focus on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside (DTES). Over the past year, thanks to support from the UBC Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund, we’ve been able to expand to multiple classrooms and deepen our connection with community. We will use this page to highlight our student work, community partners, and everything else going on with UBC SHARE.
