CIEDAR & UBC Health co-presented, “Hearing Indigenous Voices During the COVID-19 Pandemic,” last week with UBC Sociology Professor Kimberly Huyser organizing the event. The hybrid dialogue sessions discussed lessons learned about conducting research and Indigenous resilience during the pandemic with researchers based in Canada, the United States, and New Zealand.
Health After 2020 dialogue sessions are held as part of the Health After 2020 program at UBC Health. The program enables researchers to engage in interdisciplinary, cross-institutional collaborations that aim to create change in health and health-producing systems. These collaborations respond to the broad effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and further our understanding of the determinants and experience of health and wellbeing.
This dialogue session highlighted the experiences and triumphs of Indigenous peoples around the world.
This session was presented in partnership with UBC Health, CIEDAR, UBC Vancouver Provost’s Office, UBC Sociology, UBC First Nations House of Learning, UBC Indigenous Land-Based Health, Wellness, and Education Research Cluster; and CoVaRR-Net EDI&I.
