Renee McBeth

Renée holds an MA in Political Science from the University of Victoria and is currently a
PhD Candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Alberta.  In her
role with the Inner City Health and Wellness Program, Renée is coordinating
collaborative research with partners in central Edmonton. Renée’s research interests
include methods of co-creation and “practical governance” for housing and related
support services. Developed in her community-engaged doctoral research, the practical
governance method enables groups to identify a shared purpose, facilitates meaning-
making, and supports authoritative decision-making.
