EDI in research, teaching, and knowledge mobilization at the interface of science, society and policy
Sep 29, 2022 — All day
On September 29th 2022, the ISSP is hosting Food for Thought, a virtual panel discussion, on its new project report, titled From concept to action: Good practices for EDI in research, KMb, and teaching at the interface of science, society and policy. The report identifies seven good practices that aim to help researchers, instructors, and KMb practitioners and鈥痶heir teams take action on EDI in their everyday work.

Universities, funding agencies, and governments across Canada are taking action to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in research, teaching, and knowledge mobilization (KMb) activities. Identifying how to transform research and KMb to incorporate EDI principles is an urgent imperative. But there are gaps between EDI ambitions and EDI know-how: How do we get from an abstract concept to concrete action?
In early 2022, the ISSP convened its network of researchers, students, and practitioners at the science-society-policy interface to mobilize its expertise to help Canada transform decision-making to incorporate EDI principles. This session launches the resulting report and discusses the 鈥7 good practices鈥 on EDI that it identifies.
