REGISTRATION FOR INVESTIGAYTORS IS OPEN!

WHAT ARE YOU CURIOUS ABOUT?

Investigaytors seeks 2SLGBTQIA+ Albertans for its upcoming cohort, beginning September 2023 and running until March 2024!

Investigaytors is a data-driven journey into the basics of community-based research. This two-year program is designed to teach you all about research, including topics like qualitative and quantitative research methods, data collection and analysis, research ethics and anti-oppressive research approaches, and more.

Participants meet two hours each week to learn the basics of community-based research and work on your own research project. The program culminates in hands-on research experience, enabling you to answer burning questions, and become actively involved in local research in Alberta’s queer and trans community. No previous experience is required as the program will teach all necessary skills.

The upcoming cohort will have the opportunity to delve into the mental health impacts of COVID-19 on the queer and trans community, as well as digging into sexual health issues affecting 2SLGBTQIA+ Albertans.

Previous Investigaytors have presented their research back to the community locally and at the CBRC’s national summit! Check out the previous Investigaytors projects here!

Note: COVID-19 precautions will be in place to protect participants, regardless of vaccination status. Daily COVID-19 cases will be monitored to determine if the program will need to carry on virtually. Presently, we plan to hold weekly sessions in person in Edmonton with precautions in place, with the option for participants to join virtually at any point from around the province.
