On March 12th from 12-1 pm, the WHRI and its research partners are hosting a FREE Mentorship & Networking event called “Hopes, Dreams, and Nightmares.”

This “speed dating” style event will include two break-out sessions with mentors covering the select topics:

Research pathways for clinician-scientists
Interesting Journeys – non-Traditional paths to Research Careers
Health research needs all of us
Careers Outside Academia
Leadership: What is it and how to do it well
Frustrations, Fears, and Failures
The Nightmare Room
Indigenous, Black, and other trainees of Colour: racism, sexism, and other -isms in academia

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
