Research at Work 2: Policy for Science will cover how science is governed and fostered in Canada, with a focus on how we can work to embed principles of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) into the ways we conduct science. Expert speaker, Dr. Imogen Coe, will share insights on why issues of EDI should matter to the scientific community. Woking through examples with the group, she will aim to shed light on who conducts science, how the science is done, and how addressing issues of EDI makes science better.
Speaker – Dr. Imogen Coe
Dr. Imogen R. Coe is a professor of Chemistry and Biology and founding dean (2012-2018) of the Faculty of Science at Toronto Metropolitan University & affiliate scientist at St. Michael’s Hospital, Toronto. Dr. Coe is well known as one of Canada’s leading advocates for organizational change towards inclusive excellence in research, particularly in science and medicine. She runs a consulting company providing advice and training on inclusive excellence and has advised federal and national funding agencies on how to integrate equity, diversity and inclusion principles into diverse research cultures and is the inaugural NSERC Scholar-in-Residence. She has published widely on these topics and is much in demand as a speaker and panelist. She has received numerous awards for her advocacy work, most recently, the 2022 Canadian Science Policy Centre Trailblazer (Policy for Science) Award.

About TSPN
The Toronto Science Policy Network is a student-run science policy group. We seek to provide a platform to learn more about and engage in science policy. Since July 2018, we have organized a variety of events (including workshops, public panels, and talks) and advocacy efforts, engaging hundreds of individuals to date. While we are a recognized campus group at the University of Toronto, we welcome members and participants from outside the university, and indeed outside the city, to join. Everyone is welcome, regardless of whether you study or actively work in the sciences, social sciences, or humanities.
