An invitation from the Office of Respectful Environments, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
Please join the Office of Respectful Environments, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (REDI) for the next It Starts with Us event: Let’s talk about sex (and gender).
This presentation will feature Dr. Mei-ling Wiedmeyer and Dr. A.J. Lowik, who will share some background learnings that set the stage for an ongoing curriculum audit funded by the UBC Faculty of Medicine Strategic Investment Fund. They will identify some of the important concepts for faculty, staff, tutors, preceptors, and others to understand, and to continue UBC’s leadership in equity-oriented care and education.
When: Tuesday, February 22, 2022 from 12:00-1:30 pm
What will I learn?
- Difference between sex and gender, and how it is relevant to teaching, research, clinical care
- Health inequities facing intersex, trans, non-binary, and Two-Spirit people
- How to unpack the assumptions behind cisnormativity
- Tips for intentionally creating space for intersex, trans, non-binary, and Two-Spirit people in teaching, research, and clinical care
