Abstract
This symposium considers the prospects for research collaboration between industrial relations scholars and trade unions, as well as its challenges. First, in remarks presented in the 2025 H.D. Woods Lecture at the Canadian Industrial Relations Association / Association canadienne des relations industrielles conference, Jim Stanford reviews the mutual benefits for both scholars and trade unionists from successful research partnerships and proposes strategies for building more respectful and trusting relationships between them. The symposium then presents three case studies of lasting, productive research partnerships, each described by a matched pairing of a scholar with a union representative. Lessons are drawn for future research collaborations.
Keywords:
- Unions,
- union research
Résumé
Ce symposium examine les perspectives de collaboration en matière de recherche entre les spécialistes des relations industrielles et les syndicats, ainsi que les défis qui y sont associés. Tout d'abord, dans son allocution prononcée lors de la conférence 2025 H.D. Woods Lecture de la Canadian Industrial Relations Association / Association canadienne des relations industrielles, Jim Stanford passe en revue les avantages mutuels que peuvent tirer les universitaires et les syndicalistes d'un partenariat de recherche fructueux et propose des stratégies pour établir des relations plus respectueuses et plus confiantes entre eux. Le symposium présente ensuite trois études de cas de partenariats de recherche durables et productifs, chacun étant décrit par un duo composé d'un chercheur et d'un représentant syndical. Des enseignements sont tirés pour de futures collaborations en matière de recherche.
