Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Research Certificate
In 2023 Winter Term, the Research Office developed and piloted an EDI in Research Certificate program, which provided an introduction to the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion in the context of research design (e.g., methods, approaches, knowledge mobilization, data management, etc.) and practice (e.g., team composition, recruitment, training, work environment, etc.) within the Canadian post-secondary context, as well as offering strategies and tools on how to incorporate those principles. The six modules of training were taught by five instructors:
- Dr. Jennifer Adams, Canada Research Chair in Creativity and Science and Academic Director of Black Futures Strategy, University of Calgary
- Larissa Wodtke, Program Officer, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Anti-Racism, and Decolonization and Research, The University of Winnipeg
- Dr. Nicole Kaniki, Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Research and Innovation, University of Toronto
- Dr. Heena Mistry, Manager of EDI Training, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives, Wilfrid Laurier University
- Dr. Kumudinie Kariyapperuma, Research Facilitator, Wilfrid Laurier University
The program will be offered again in 2024.
