Part Three

How does doing good research relate to you?

In order to create systems change, you have to have the support from a diverse group of people. How you learn about an issue comes from the context in which you bring into your questions and how those questions frame your goals. How do you find the context (aka different views) in issues that affect you and your community?

The podcast below will help you start to understand the importance of understanding other peoples values and why it’s important to create systems change. As Executive Director of the Angus Reid Institute, Shachi Kurl can be found offering analysis on CBC’s “At Issue,” Canada’s most-watched political panel, as well as other influential forums.

This podcast is featured across all 5 subjects here on Nature Labs. We’re going to show you throughout this unit how each subject links to one another. You might not like art, or science, or English, or social studies – but hey – they are all related. Let’s find out how.

  • Does polling inform better policy? Does it help create more empathy for those we disagree with?
  • How valuable is it to have unbiased, impartial research to better understand public opinion?
  • Do you believe polling to be unbiased, or can the questions that drive the research be loaded or leading, helping create answers that reinforce certain perspectives?
  • How do we create more movements that unify, rather than divide?
  • Do moments have value? Or are sustained movements the only way to truly move the needle?
