Walther, Hannah

Biography:

I am a psychology student at Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel in Germany and am currently in Vancouver for a three-month research internship in Dr. Lori Brotto’s lab at the University of British Columbia. During my internship, I am gaining experience in women’s health and sexual health research.

My academic interests include clinical psychology, sexual health, psychophysiology, and the role of sex and gender in health research. I am especially interested in how psychological, biological, and social factors interact in shaping sexual wellbeing, patient experiences, and access to care.

In the future, I would like to become a therapist and continue working at the intersection of clinical psychology, sexual health, and women’s health.

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.
