Trust is a key aspect of collaborative work, but we often dive into collaboration without truly understanding or embracing the human side of this work. As we work to tackle complex problems, we know that we must bring different voices and experiences to the table. How can we do this effectively when we don’t build practices which engage others and build trust?

This paper addresses the act of building trust in a collaborative setting, the importance of an equity lens, and how engagement can build trust.
