The BC Office of the Human Rights Commissioner and Canada’s Parliamentary Black Caucus are calling for disaggregated data to measure the impacts systemic racism. The academic and community must also address their legacy of data being used against Canada’s oppressed peoples and the historical extractive nature of research. Panelists will share perspectives on co-designing community-benefitting research to serve communities better through ethical, data-driven approaches. Join us and learn from our panel research experts, government leaders, policy makers, Indigenous advocates, and data experts on how the research community can collaborate with community groups to address the growing digital and data divide in Canada.
