Publisher Description In 1910, Sir William Meredith led a Royal Commission to investigate the injury, death, and permanent disability of workers. In response to his findings, Meredith helped introduce a new system of compensation for injured and disabled workers that emphasized their rights and well-being. But today, Sir Williams principles appear to be dead: injured and disabled workers often end up living in poverty and are viewed with stigma by those who should be providing them with service.What happened? How can we find out the experiences and needs of injured and disabled workers, and how can the necessary changes be put into action?To answer such questions, the Research Action Alliance on the Consequences of Work Injury (RAACWI), a community-based research initiative that brought advocates, injured workers, and academics together, was formed. Who Killed Sir William? provides an engaging look at RAACWIs eight years of groundbreaking work and what a successful community-academia partnership looks like to inform and inspire fellow academics, advocates, and community. Its discussion includes (and goes beyond): - Developing a trusting, productive, community-advocate-academicrelationship- Successes such as the production of over twenty research publications, effective running of meetings, and a speakers school for injured workers- The use of diverse teaching methods, including skits and theatre pieces- Some of the challenges RAACWI faced (and how they overcame them)Who Killed Sir William? authors Marion Endicott and Steve Mantis not only offer insight on the systemic assailants, but also lay out a process of addressing them. Author Biography Marion Endicott worked for forty years as an advocate for injured workers.
