The Rural Policy Learning Commons [1] is hosting a free webinar titled, “Weaving Indigenous Wellbeing, Research & Ethics: Community and Campus Perspectives in Canada”. A brief description of the webinar is listed below.

The webinar will feature the work and vision of four Indigenous leaders working in community-campus engagement. Two Professors from Saskatchewan (Michelle Johnson-Jennings, PhD) and British Columbia (Dr. Michelle Pidgeon) and two community leaders from the National Association of Friendship Centres in Ottawa (Jennifer Rankin and Shady Hafez) will focus on ethical research, Indigenous knowledges, equitable partnerships and how higher education and other Canadian allies can collectively support Indigenous community health and wellbeing. They will explore the challenges they face, opportunities for the future, and specific recommendations for policy, funding, culture, and program changes.

The upcoming webinar is free to attend, however, registration is requested. Please register for the webinar here [2].  The School of Environmental Design and Rural Development is a member of the Rural Policy Learning Commons.
