The Research Engagement and Collaboration Hub (REACH) serves as a pivotal initiative associated with the Digital Literacy Center of the Department of Language and Literacy Education (LLED) at the University of British Columbia. Conceived with the mission to diversify and broaden learning, exchange, and research opportunities, REACH is dedicated to advancing the knowledge and comprehension of research methodologies and methods, specifically within the domains of literacy and language education, among LLED community members. 

REACH aspires to cultivate a vibrant and inclusive environment that empowers faculty and students to explore both established and emerging approaches to language and literacy education research. By promoting collaborative partnerships, peer teaching and learning, and fostering scholarly engagement, REACH supports the development of a dynamic research culture. It orchestrates a diverse array of activities and events focused on methodologies and methods relevant to research in language and literacy education. At the same time, REACH works to synthesize and enhance existing resources to support literacy- and methodology-related instruction and learning across the community. 

Through its provision of an online platform for interdisciplinary collaboration, dialogue and knowledge building, REACH aims to augment the LLED academic framework and facilitate the evolution of inclusive and transformative research practices in language and literacy education.
