Join our monthly Lunch & Learn series

The WHRI has launched a monthly Lunch & Learn series. In an effort to support WHRI strategic goals, this initiative aims to build awareness of WHRI services and bridge capacity among research staff and members concerning these specialty areas.

Each session is dedicated to an area of expertise within the realms of our services. For our first session (March 16, 2023), in-house methods specialists Nicole Prestley (Knowledge Translation), Sabina Dobrer (Quantitative Methods), and Julia Santana Parrilla (Qualitative Methods) introduced themselves, their services, and what to expect from the series.

The circle around it lists our services: Research facilitation, statistical services, qualitative research, digital health, grant facilitation, communications, and knowledge translation. On the left it lists more details about facilitation and management. On the left it lists details about consultation and management. The background is a light purple.

Sessions will be run virtually for one-hour on the second Wednesday of the month, every month. In addition to covering these topic areas, we will also touch on related examples contextualizing these services within the research cycle, from conceptualization to completion.

For our next session, Qualitative Methods Specialist Julia Santana Parrilla has prepared “Why Qualitative?” – a session to demystify the value, processes and effectiveness of qualitative methods. Join us on April 12th at 12pm to learn more!

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.
