Abstract:

Budd Hall was working in Tanzania in the early 1970s when the concept of participatory research was first developed. Researchers at the University of Dar es Salaam at the time were confronted with research tools which did not fit the aspirations of the transformative vision of a new African society under the leadership of the late President Julius K Nyerere. Upon leaving Tanzania, Budd joined with others in many parts of the global South to create the International Participatory Research Network. Rejected by academics but loved by social movements and development workers, participatory research remained in the margins of academia for many years. By the turn of the 21st century and the interest of funding bodies and scholars from the global North, the many varieties of engaged scholarship have flourished. In 2012 UNESCO created a UNESCO Chair in Community-Based Participatory Research with Budd Hall from University of Victoria and Rajesh Tandon from PRIA in India as the co-chairs. Budd will share the story of the evolution of these ideas and the challenges which we face in continuing to move forward.

Abstract: Canadian research team Freeston, Rh茅aume, Letarte, Dugas and Ladouceur posed this essential question over 30 years ago, at a time when the systematic study of worry was still relatively new. In the last three decades, we have learned a lot about the mechanisms of worry and this has resulted in several well-developed cognitive-behavioural theories and corresponding empirically-supported psychotherapies, notably for generalized anxiety disorder. Nonetheless, there is still much about the worry experience that remains elusive, and even paradoxical.

In this presentation, Dr. Koerner will share what she's learned about chronic worry and its treatment over the last 15+ years. She will provide an overview of what her research team, collaborators and herself have discovered about: attitudes toward uncertainty and their role in worry, the stories that people tell themselves when they are in a state of worry and anxiety, the kinds of emotional and affective experiences that trouble people who are prone to chronic worry, and more. Dr. Koerner will also share some musings on potential limitations of cognitive-behavioural conceptualizations of worry; for example, in the context of 鈥渦ncertainty disasters.鈥�
