Join us for the launch of “Learning Together: Applying Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Concepts in Research Ethics Review,” a new monthly series bringing together experts from across the tri-campus on a range of research ethics topics from equity, diversity, and inclusion through a TCPS 2 lens.   

In the first half of this session, guest speaker Dr. Nicole Kaniki will explore: 

• Foundational frameworks of EDI from an REB perspective.  
• Provide definitions of Harm and Risk, and an understanding of trauma informed considerations within the context of ethical research.   
• Confronting individual, systemic, and structural bias toward marginalized groups in the review process.   
• General best principles/ Best Practices (e.g., Positionality Statement)   

Following the presentation, session participants will explore a featured case study in small groups before closing with final reflections.
