Invitation to participate in a research opportunity: On March 8th and 9th, 2021, our research team is hosting a series of online workshops through zoom where we hope to meet with: Adults 18+ who have experience working on research committees and advisory groups... AND navigate social exclusions (race, ethnicity, indigeneity, sexual orientation, ableness). AND are comfortable contributing to an English conversation, on their own or with the help of a translator. (we can arrange translators if needed). Katrina Plamondon, an equity scholar and a professor at the University of British Columbia, will facilitate the workshop. During the workshop, participants will dig deeper into a conversation that reflects their personal experiences of feeling included (or not) in research partnerships. For the workshop, we hope to identify ways to foster genuine and meaningful inclusion of people who have been excluded from these groups. Participants are also invited to spend some creative time reflecting on their experiences before the event. To honor time, we are providing a $50 gift card to all attendees. If you are interested in participating or receiving more information on the dialogue sessions, please contact [email protected].
