Public Health Seminar Series: Beyond Inclusion: Reimagining Women's Health Research with CALD Communities
Tuesday, 22 September | 1 pm - 2 pm
How can women's health research with hardly reached communities move beyond inclusion to genuine partnership and shared leadership?
This seminar brings together researchers to explore culturally safe healthcare, community-led health promotion, and co-produced sexual and reproductive health research with culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) women, with specific focus on Muslim Women. With a specific focus on sharing the two years of Women's Awareness in Reproductive 'Aafiya (WARDA) program and broader experiences of power-sharing in research, speakers will challenge traditional approaches and discuss new pathways for creating research that is equitable, relevant, and impactful.
Speakers Include:
Sadia Hossain: Two years of Women's Awareness in ReproDuctive 'Aafiya (WARDA)
Rakime Elmir: Moving Beyond Cultural Competence: Cultural Safety for Muslim Women in Healthcare
Alex Hawkey: Power-sharing and partnership: Co-producing SRH research with CALD women
