Research with Pride: A Community Forum
June 18, 2009
This is a formal invitation to the Research with Pride Community Sounding. ** Refreshments will be provided*** This community sounding will help shape and direct the Research with Pride:
A Community Forum that will be hosted in October 2009. This forum will bring together community members, students, academics and researchers to discuss LGBTT2IQQ health and research and we want your input.
We are lesbian/gay/bisexual/trans students and allies at the University of Toronto who are concerned with the health needs of our communities. We come from different disciplines including public health, nursing and health policy and we share the recognition of a gap between LGBTT2IQQ health needs and the health resources our community actually receives.
We know that certain members of our communities have been exploited, pathologised and made invisible by research that was supposed to be 'for our own good.' We also know that the line between researcher and researched is fuzzy and constantly changing. As more LGBTT2IQQ individuals have entered academia and/or engaged in community-based research, some of us are trying to redefine what research into LGBTT2IQQ health can look like. We want to encourage anyone interested in these issues to come out.
We will be hosting a discussion about:
. The health needs of our communities
. What specific topics we should focus on for our forum
. Your experience with LGBTT2IQQ health research
Time: 6pm-8pm
Location: 519 Church Street Community Centre Toronto, ON
