We are seeking Indigenous (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit) Scholars who are part of your network to participate in our study entitled Indigenous-specific Racism in the Academy: Research towards Action-Oriented Change.

The purpose of this Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)-funded 3-year Race, Gender, Diversity project is to examine the apparatuses underpinning and sustaining Indigenous-specific racism in the Canadian academy. We would appreciate it if you circulate our recruitment poster to your members. As a professional organization, your members are experts in their respective fields and may have valuable experiences to share with our team. This project received ethics approval from the University of Victoria Human Research Ethics Board on December 13, 2022.
