Celebrating Indigeneity in Science
This webpage was created as the result of a virtual discussion hosted by Wilfred Laurier University on International Women’s Day in 2021. The Laurier Centre for Women in Science (WinS) welcomed indigenous women scholars to share their work and personal stories and collected the information in to a number of resources with the intent of “building a vibrant and inclusive scientific community.” I have enjoyed browsing the various resources here and thought you might too. My hope is that at least one of them will be relevant to your teaching practice. I know there are few that I will refer to in future as I teach undergraduate science labs!
Jayve thank you for finding this awesome resource. I am glad to be introduced to Indigenous women in science that I can share with my students to hopefully help them purse a career in STEM.
Hi Jacey,
Thank you for sharing this resource! I love to see (and we need more) representation across different settings, topics and expertise!
Here is a link to an article I recently say about the first Indigenous woman to win Miss Canada this year. Although a different sector of representation, it made me happy to see this.
