Community Partners May 2, 2025 - 10:58am

Since the first students took on their initial projects in the fall of 2014, CBAIR has been the product of collaboration between instructors in VIU's departments of Anthropology, Criminology, Management, Marketing, Media Studies and Sociology.

CBAIR  strengthens partnerships with our community as it addresses real-world problems. At the same time, it provides training and experience that is directly applicable to students’ scholarship and future careers while raising the profile of Vancouver Island University.

Course Overview May 2, 2025 - 10:50am

Structured to take place over the course of two semesters (from September to April), CBAIR students and faculty hold 3-hour weekly meetings through the year. The course begins with a two-day orientation session (Orientation Days) held in August where students get to know each other, the faculty, and meet the Clients for whom they will undertake research. A weekend retreat (knows as the REB Bootcamp) is held in October for students to compile their research proposals and Applications for Ethical Review.

Ryan Butler December 17, 2018 - 4:52pm

I graduated from VIU in 2014 with a Bachelor’s degree, majoring in Sociology and Political Science.  Afterwards, I earned a Master’s degree in Sociology from the University of Victoria, specializing in the interdisciplinary Social Cultural and Political Thought Program.  And currently, I am a second-year student in the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Law. Throughout each of these experiences, my success has stemmed from the academic skills I developed at VIU, such as critical reading, purposive researching, time management, etcetera.
