Our goal with this course is to foster more inclusive, equitable, and productive research environments, while equipping you, a graduate or postgraduate researcher (highly qualified personnel, or HQP), with lifelong learning and professional skills. We know that many issues plague research environments, including steep learning curves where many professional and learning skills are rarely taught, and that many equity-deserving groups disproportionately face barriers to success. Our team is working to address some of those issues, in a collaborative approach that maximizes equity.
As HQP, you have a variety of experiences, with commonalities, and will meet a variety of people through your degree--a superb opportunity! With this course, we hope to help you identify the many things you already bring to your studies and continue to learn as you work toward your goals.
