Equity Science Lab
A Community of Practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and actively learn by exchanging knowledge to ultimately improve practice.
The Equity Science Lab proudly hosts two Communities of Practice dedicated to advancing equity in diverse settings and contexts: PHEN and KTEA.
A community of researchers, practitioners, and community members across the Pacific Northwest working together to advance health equity through shared knowledge and collective action.
Explore PHEN →A learning community dedicated to bridging the gap between evidence and equitable action — bringing together people committed to translating knowledge into meaningful change.
Explore KTEA →Our Communities of Practice are living networks — spaces where researchers, practitioners, and community members build shared knowledge, challenge assumptions, and move evidence into action. The most powerful evidence is the kind that communities recognise as their own.
Members share a common concern or passion — in our case, advancing equity in health and social systems.
Members build relationships through joint activities, discussions, and helping each other — across disciplines, roles, and geographies.
Members develop shared resources, tools, experiences, and ways of addressing recurring problems — turning knowledge into action.
Our communities welcome researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, and community members. If either PHEN or KTEA resonates with your work, reach out — we'd love to have you.
