Feeling welcomed: Creating space for Indigenous voices in brain and mental health research
with Melissa L. Perreault, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Guelph, Citizen of the Métis Nation of Ontario
Research on Indigenous communities has historically been conducted using a one-sided approach, with researchers having little knowledge of Indigenous culture, minimal concerns surrounding community needs or desires, and without giving back to the community. In this lecture intended for people from all backgrounds and professions, Dr. Melissa L. Perreault will discuss how this is the time to give Indigenous communities a voice in research on brain and mental health that is guided ethically and culturally.
When: Tuesday, March 14, 2023 from 5:30PM – 7:00PM
Where: Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art
