Webinar 2: The academic researcher and her / his / their questions about race, gender and intersectionality
This second of a series of three CIRA webinars aims to contribute to long due conversations regarding equity, diversity and inclusion at work and the way in which academic researchers address research questions that take into account race, gender and intersectionality. Webinar 1 opened the discussion on equity, diversity and inclusion and how these are addressed or questioned in academic teaching through choices of content and pedagogical approaches. Webinar 3 will give voice to practitioners such as union representatives and the challenges they face in representation endeavors.
During webinar 2, our guests, Tamara Lee and Maite Tapia, will help us discuss how as academic researchers they address questions around race, gender and intersectionality. These two authors of a recent article* that addresses these issues in Industrial Relations, will share their experiences regarding challenges they may face while conducting empirical research on these themes, and will help discuss relevant implications regarding bias and reflexivity.
