Research policies
Our research group celebrates the transdisciplinarity of our interests and previous experiences. We seek out opportunity to broaden rather than focus. We do this deliberately to enrich our work and to support each other.
Two principles guide us in building our team:
1) Members do not need to be engaged in research that addresses the direct strength of the principle investigator. Research expertise is easy to come by and can be addressed by co-supervision if needed. Membership in the research group should be motivated by a desire to be part of how we support each other, how we value our work, how we ask questions, and we prioritize community partnership.
2) Members do not need to come with financial support or proof of admission to a program. The team recognizes that access to grants/scholarships/admissions is not equitable. Therefore, we offer our credentials, experience, and expertise to help members acquire the funds/grants/scholarship required. We cannot guarantee success but our track record is really freakin' impressive!
**note for non-Canadian citizens: welcoming students from countries other than Canada has been a real challenge. The funding requirements are greater and access to scholarships is limited.
