Our “How to SGBA” workshop series was developed by trainee\, faculty and community experts that are a part o f the WHRC’s SGBA Working Group.\n\nFour seasoned academics will join us as guest speakers for this event and use their own research as case studi es to demonstrate how they approached and conquered the challenges of inco rporating gender into their research methodologies and data collection pra ctices. The event will kick off with short presentations from each speaker to introduce you to their work and reveal key decisions they had to make and tools that helped them along the way. Speakers will then engage in a p anel discussion\, moderated by our event host Dr. Gillian Einstein\, to cr itically examine current trends in sex and gender research. Following this \, audience members will move into breakout rooms to discuss their own res earch and ask for guidance from two sex and gender-based analysis (SGBA) e xperts from the Institute for Gender and Health Trainee Network\, and memb ers from our SGBA Working Group.\n\nWe welcome all faculty\, trainees and members of the community who are engaged in research to attend this event! We encourage all registrants to watch the first workshop in this series t o learn about the importance and value of SGBA.\nAgenda\n12:00 pm: Welcome Remarks\n\n12:05 pm: Speaker Presentations\n\n12:35 pm: Panel Discussion\ n\n1:00 pm: Breakout Rooms\n\n1:25 pm: Closing Remarks\n\n \;\nmoderat or\n\n\n\n\nGillian Einstein\, Ph.D.\n\nProfessor of Psychology\, Wilfre d and Joyce Posluns Chair in Women's Brain Health and Aging\, University o f Toronto.\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nLouise Pilote\, MD\, MPH\, PhD\n\nDr. Louise Pilote is a Professor of Medicine at McGill University where she ho lds a James McGill chair.
