Navigating this Time Holistic Wellness for Indigenous Scholars (Part Two)

  • 07 May 2021
  • 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
  • Webinar

As leaders of Ontario’s Indigenous Mentorship Network (IMN) and the Ontario Network Environment for Indigenous Health Research (NEIHR), it is our pleasure to invite you to join us as a Panelist for an Indigenous Knowledges Virtual Exchange entitled Navigating This Time: Holistic Wellness for Indigenous Scholars (Part 2), to be held Friday May 7th, 2021 from 10:00am to 12:00pm.

The purpose of this Indigenous Knowledges Virtual Exchange is to bring together Indigenous new investigators, early scholars and faculty members from the Ontario NEIHR and IMN and our sister networks from across Canada to provide opportunities for peer mentoring, support and belonging.

In a panel format, presenters from the IMN and NEIHR will share stories about how they are maintaining wellness while pursuing scholarly activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Panel will consist of three presenters (each to speak for about 10 minutes), followed by small group discussion in breakout rooms to allow for further in-depth conversations with peers.
