Webinar: Teaching to Reach Diverse Learners: From Classrooms to Professional Training
Educational inequities exist across settings and have powerful impacts on the experiences of diverse learners, particularly those with intersecting identities. Using culturally responsive and inclusive teaching frameworks as a foundation for this webinar, Dr. Anjana Balakrishnan will offer a research-informed overview of how diverse learners are supported by educators, research supervisors, and within professional training programs. The webinar will also introduce attendees to practical resources, contemporary academic and practice-related considerations, and implementable actions for designing more equitable and welcoming learning spaces. The topics explored will be relevant to individuals working across education, research, policy and practice settings.
Webinar: Gender-Based Violence in a Migration and Refugee Context: Forms, Impacts, Barriers and Responses
This presentation is based on research conducted by a Canadian research team as part of the multi-country, interdisciplinary project, “Violence against Women Migrants and Refugees: Analysing Causes and Effective Policy Response”. The Canadian team was led by academic co-investigators from Saint Mary’s University, University of Guelph, University of Manitoba and University of New Brunswick who supervised postdoctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students. The research benefited from consultations with an Expert Advisory Group.
Webinar: Breaking the Silence: Building Awareness and Taking Action to Protect Children in the Context of Intimate Partner Violence
This presentation describes the profound and often invisible impacts of intimate partner violence (IPV) on children. Multi-media components will be used to explore child and adult survivor narratives and emerging neurobiological and developmental research to explore how exposure to IPV is associated with a host of short- and long-term outcomes. We will examine how trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and prevention-focused approaches can interrupt cycles of harm. Situating IPV as both a child welfare issue and a pressing public health crisis in Canada, we aim to move beyond awareness toward action by emphasizing the urgent need to educate professionals, policymakers, and especially communities/members of the public about the scope and intergenerational consequences of violence. Through examples, strategies to translate and mobilize knowledge across sectors will be presented to strengthen early identification, prevention, and coordinated intervention efforts. Interactive elements will deepen our collective understanding of IPV and the importance of translating evidence into practice and policy.
Have you listened to the RESOLVing Violence Podcast yet?
The province of Saskatchewan is home to a vibrant research community and hundreds of organizations and service providers working to prevent, respond to, and assist with recovery from violence and abuse.
Through this podcast, we hope to facilitate that transfer of knowledge from the research community to these applied stakeholders and people with lived experience, to make staying up to date on current research that much more accessible and efficient.
