WORKSHOPS AND CONFERENCES

1. Hosted by Dr. Karen Phillips and Dr. Angus McMurty (Co-Chairs), the 38th Annual Association for Interdisciplinary Studies Conference took place at the University of Ottawa in Canada (October 27-29, 2016); the first non-US location for this conference. The theme of the conference, Interdisciplinary Approaches to Health, Wellness and Sustainability, recognizes that health, wellness and sustainable communities are crucial and complex phenomena that require

diverse insights from multiple stakeholders. This international conference facilitated discourse on a number of health-related topics including aging, indigenous communities and reproductive health as well as topics more traditional to the AIS including interdisciplinary approaches to education, curriculum design and pedagogy. 

 

2. Hosted by Dr. Karen Phillips and Dr. Andrea Martinez (Co-Chairs), a workshop entitled An Interdisciplinary Dialogue towards an Empowering Sexual and Reproductive Health Education for Canadian Adolescents (March 14-15, 2008) brought together researchers, community health partners and policymakers in the field of adolescent sexual health.  The workshop emphasized key areas for discussion including the need to incorporate the construction, meaning and negotiation of racial/ethnic and sexual (gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender) identities in pedagogical approaches, reflections on the reliance of current sexual education on a risk paradigm that emphasizes the negative outcomes of sexual activity (unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, HIV-AIDS), and finally, the knowledge transfer and accessibility of relevant community experiences to teachers and school administrators.

 

3. The Health Sciences Program, Faculty of Health Sciences together with the McLaughlin Centre for Population Health Risk Assessment hosted a one-day workshop (October 28, 2005) to facilitate research collaborations, priority settings and discussions on the issue of endocrine toxicants. The Endocrine Toxicants: Ecological and Population Health Impacts Workshop (Karen Phillips, Co-Chair) focused on human health and environmental research on endocrine toxicants with sessions on industry and government perspectives and risk communication of potential adverse human health effects associated with endocrine toxicants. A forum to identify priority issues for endocrine toxicant research closed the workshop.
