Responsive Research and Gender-Based Analysis (+) in Socio-Economic Impact and Environmental Assessment. 

Date: Friday February 15, 2019
Time: 4:30 - 6:45pm
Location: Library Square Conference Center, Peter Kaye Room, Lower Level, 350 West Georgia, Vancouver 

Please join us for an informative discussion and dialogue followed by a question and answer period and networking.

In a post-TRC era and with the US and Canadian endorsements of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, understanding what constitutes responsive research is an important consideration for working in partnership with Indigenous nations and communities. Using a gender-based lens combined with strong local community relationships and a deeper understanding of cultural protocols is a key starting point for building meaningful, translocal partnerships and relational forms of accountability. Community-based research can provide gender-disaggregated data to support policy analysts in the completion of gender equality analysis of programs and policies. Through this workshop you will:

• Receive information on effective approaches to GBA (+) and guidance on integrating GBA to environmental assessment at the national, provincial and community levels.
• Gain an understanding of the links between culturally responsive research and better socio-economic, health, and environmental outcomes.

Speakers:
 Dr. Jacqueline Quinless -  Director of Research at Quintessential Research Group, a community-based practice that specializes in environmental issues, health and wellness research, and socio-economic analysis.

Jeff (Ganohalidoh) Corntassel - writer, teacher and father from the Tsalagi (Cherokee) Nation and currently Associate Professor at the University of Victoria.
