Learning Together: Applying Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Concepts in Research Ethics Review
Series Description
The Division of the Vice-President, Research & Innovation is launching a new monthly series focused on equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) and Indigenous considerations in the research ethics board (REB) process. This monthly series will bring together experts from across the tri-campus on a range of topics from equity, diversity, and inclusion through a TCPS 2 lens.
Topics explored in this series include an introduction to foundational frameworks of EDI from an REB perspective, partnering with Indigenous communities, antisemitism and anti-black racism in research, gender and sexuality considerations, and more. These interactive sessions are open to members of one of the Research Ethics Boards at U of T, as well as the broader U of T research community.
Learning Objectives

- Apply foundational EDI, decolonial, and Indigenization frameworks to ethical and responsible research
- Discuss how key concepts within these frameworks can be considered in the context of research ethics review
- Practice applying these learnings through self-reflection and discussion of case examples with peers
