Consequently, intersectionality is now recognized as an innovative research and policy paradigm for mitigating inequities and promoting social justice. Dr. Hankivsky’s public lecture will present applications of intersectionality in health research and policy to demonstrate how current understandings and responses to health inequities and related problems can be made more responsive, effective and efficient. Olena Hankivsky, PhD – Professor, School of Public Policy;Founder and Director of the Institute for Intersectionality Research and Policy at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. Tea, Coffee and Water will be provided. You are welcome to bring a (cold) packed lunch with you.
