Roundtables
Great minds, great questions
What theory will accelerate community crisis recovery?
Stimulating conversation
Creative Crisis Leadership and re+connect host roundtable discussions to advance theory of grassroots crisis response. We bring innovative thinkers together at the same (virtual) table to inspire the kinds of conversations that happen in hallways and pubs at conferences. Roundtables promote the free flow of ideas across research disciplines and institutions.
What is a Research Roundtable?
A Research Roundtable is a moderated virtual meeting that gives 4-8 participants the opportunity to have an in-depth conversation on a topic of shared interest.
What are the goals?
For participants? To spark ideas, start fruitful collaborations, and open opportunities for sharing data.
For us? To ensure that our products and services have the theoretical foundations they need to deliver reliable replicable results.
Who can participate?
We welcome participants, from any field of study, who are interested in using systematic knowledge and research thinking to help communities recover from crisis.
What’s the outcome?
We will share a summary, recording and transcript of each discussion with participants, and help disseminate great insights.
Discussion topics
We want to establish common ground around grassroots crisis response. Therefore, our inaugural series centers on these broad topics:
- What is the role of grassroots crisis response in disaster management?
- What psycho-sociological factors figure in grassroots crisis response?
- What research methods are needed to understand and “measure” grassroots crisis response?
Going forward, there are many areas of research that touch upon grassroots crisis response (see the diagram below). We welcome your help in selecting topics for future discussions.

About participating
What to expect
The session will be divided into four parts: Introductions, Discussion, Review, and Wrap-up. A moderator will be on hand to deliver introductions, help keep the conversation moving, and lead the review. A notetaker will be taking notes, to which participants are welcome to contribute.
After the session, we will share a list of participants and their contact information, a transcript of the session, and the session recording. You should review the recording, and let us know if there are sections you feel should be redacted before public release. You will also be invited to help prepare the discussion summary. Finally, we will ask for your feedback on the roundtable so we can improve the experience for future participants.
