Toronto LGBT academics meeting June 18 at The 519 (researchwithpride.org) |
|
Planning is underway in Toronto for Research with Pride: A Community Forum that will be hosted in October 2009. They note:
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.”. . . 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.”
