The department’s EDI and Faculty Development Committee has announced the development of the Women and Their Allies Academic Forum, a new initiative designed to foster a collaborative space for underrepresented gender groups.
Who is this for?
This initiative is for any member of the department who:
Identifies as a woman.
Identifies as a gender non-conforming person or gender under-represented in medicine.
Wishes to be an ally in academia and wants to learn how to create a more equitable and inclusive environment for their colleagues.
What are the forum's aims?
This forum aims to provide a platform for:
Learning and Sharing: Participants will gain valuable insights into research methodologies, navigate the academic publishing process, and share best practices for success.
Networking: Connect with colleagues across disciplines, build lasting professional relationships, and find mentors, sponsors, and collaborators.
Building a Supportive Community: Collaborate to create a more inclusive and equitable academic environment where people who identify as women, and gender equity-seeking groups, together with their allies can thrive.
Your input matters!
To tailor the forum to best meet your needs and interests, we kindly ask you to complete a brief survey using the button below. You can also use this form to register for updates on the initiative. This feedback will be instrumental in shaping the programs and events we offer.
