In June 2006, CIHR began asking funding applicants to include sex and gender considerations into their research. We are now more than a decade past, and most information that clinicians use to diagnose, treat, and prevent disease in women is still based upon male cell lines, male model organisms and men. Despite gains over the last two decades, there remains pressing need for meaningful inclusion of sex and gender, and women’s health factors in research and education. This workshop aims to define sex and gender in the context of health research, and work through both theoretical and practical considerations on meaningful inclusion of sex and gender into all levels of the research process.
Located in the Women’s Resource Centre, room 482, MacEwan Student Centre.
