This week's webinar is entitled "Where's the REB GPS? Navigating the
Research Ethics Review System for Research Involving Aboriginal
Peoples." It will be presented by Julie Bull of the University of New
Brunswick and NunatuKavut Community Council. Current changes to the
governance of research involving Aboriginal peoples has left some
researchers confused and unsure how to proceed in the right way when
working with Aboriginal communities. This webinar will provide an
overview of the complexities of research ethics for research involving
aboriginal peoples within the current Canadian structure and offer
suggestions of how to navigate the system for students and junior
researchers. This webinar will give a summary of current practices and
provide recommendations about how to meaningfully engage communities
in research.
