Bringing the Human Back into Research: Meaningful Research Relationships with Inuit Communities in Nunavut
The next edition of the PCWHC Grand Rounds welcomes the Inuit Perinatal Health Hub! On June 24 at 12 p.m. EDT, the Hub will share insights associated with meaningful and relational research engagement with Inuit communities. Join us for an engaging session on how research can be grounded in lived experience, dialogue and reciprocity.
Through conversation and storytelling, speakers and participants will reflect on what it means to engage in research within Nunavut communities, how northern communities experience health and social systems, and the role of the Inuit Perinatal Health Hub in fostering collaborative, community-based work.
The discussion challenges extractive approaches that tokenize and treat communities as sources of data. It will emphasize the importance of relationships based on distinct histories, identities and experiences. Particular attention will be given to the differences between building relationships in Nunavut compared to southern contexts, and to the importance of bringing humanness, accountability and care into research.
