Join the Investigaytors Program from the University of Toronto’s CRUISElab for an afternoon of research, community knowledge, dialogue, and collective reflection exploring the forces shaping 2S/LGBTQIA+ sexual and reproductive health in Ontario and beyond.
The 2S/LGBTQIA+ Sexual & Reproductive Justice Forum is a participatory knowledge-exchange event bringing emerging findings from the Our Bodies, Our Health survey into dialogue with community knowledge and lived experience. The afternoon will include a keynote from Marie Geoffroy and Dr. Nathan Lachowsky, lightning talks, participatory data interpretation, and facilitated small-group dialogue exploring the social, political, institutional, geographic, cultural, and economic conditions shaping 2S/LGBTQIA+ sexual and reproductive health in Ontario and beyond.
Together, we hope the Forum will support the identification of priorities for advocacy, research, resource development, and collective action, while also fostering community-led responses and cross-regional collaboration.
The afternoon will include:
- A keynote address by Marie Geoffroy (CBRC) & Dr. Nathan Lachowsky (UNBC)
- Short lightning talks on research and key issues emerging from the Our Bodies, Our Health national survey with a special focus on Ontario-based data.
- Facilitated small-group dialogue and collective sense-making
- Opportunities to connect, collaborated, and inspire action
No specialized research or health background is required. Light refreshments will be provided. Please bring a reusable water bottle or travel mug.
