Are you balancing school with parenting?  We recognize that balancing parenthood responsibilities with academic goals and aspirations has its unique challenges, some specific to the interconnected impact of COVID-19.  As we continue to strive to provide a respectful and supportive family-friendly learning environment for our students, we would like to invite you to join us and other U of G student parents to share experiences, resources, and strategies, and simply to connect with one another. 

The Live Work Well Research Centre is launching a webinar series entitled “From the Margins: Communities Respond to COVID-19”, where we will elevate perspectives often excluded from dominant discussions of COVID-19. The panelists will discuss what are the specific challenges that their communities and organizations are facing due to COVID-19 and the social, political, and economic conditions underlying these challenges. 

Webinar presented by the Live Work Well Research Centre. More Promise than Practice: Gender-Based Analysis+ Intersectionality and Impact Assessment extends our knowledge about promising practices in intersectional impact assessments by turning to international literature and examples. We are interested in how to better understand and respond to the experiences of Indigenous women and Two-Spirit persons, youth, and people with disabilities in resource development and extraction contexts.
