About Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University)

At the intersection of mind and action, Toronto Metropolitan University is on a transformative path to become Canada’s leading comprehensive innovation university.

About the program/department/team

This student research internship is a shared partnership between the Canada Excellence Research Chair - Health Equity and Community Wellbeing and DisAbled Women’s Network (DAWN) Canada.

CERC - Health Equity and Community Wellbeing

The Canada Excellence Research Chair in Health Equity and Community Wellbeing (CERC) program is a transformative research initiative that employs an engaged community partnership approach to expand our understanding, practice, and delivery of health outcomes for all members of our communities.

The CERC in Health Equity and Community Wellbeing is led by professor Karen Soldatic. Collaborating closely with a network of health-care institutions, service providers, and civil society organizations, the program aims for a paradigm shift - one that challenges a siloed, expert-driven approach to health and well-being and moves instead towards a community-engaged, preventative model of well-being.

About DisAbled Women’s Network (DAWN) Canada

The DisAbled Women’s Network (DAWN) Canada is a national, feminist, cross-disability organization whose mission is to end the poverty, isolation, discrimination and violence experienced by women and gender-diverse people with disabilities and those who are Deaf. Our overarching strategic theme is one of leadership, partnership and networking to engage all levels of government and the wider disability and women’s sectors and other stakeholders in addressing our key issues.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a TMU Master’s student undertaking research with a focus on women and gender-diverse people with disabilities and healthcare accessibility. The purpose of this research is to gain an understanding of factors that impact women and gender diverse people with disabilities’ accessibility, experience and outcomes associated with family doctor attendance.

The student’s research must align with the CERC + DAWN Canada’s ethical commitments to intersectionality and disability gendered justice and contribute to the promotion of rights of women, girls, and gender-diverse people with disabilities that align with the aims and objectives of the CERC Health Equity & Community Wellbeing. Students with disabilities are encouraged to apply. The student is expected to contribute knowledge translation activities that promote the policy and advocacy goal of DAWN Canada & CERC Health Equity and Community Wellbeing.
