In this episode of The EDII Catalyst, Dr. Alexandra Pedersen (Manager for EDII Capacity Development, Arthur B. McDonald Canadian Astroparticle Physics Research Institute) and Heidi Penning (Former Associate Director, Queen’s University Equity and Accessibility Services) join us to discuss the creation of inclusive and accessible research environments.

Hosted by Dr. Emily Albright, this episode explores the development of the Diversity and Equity Assessment Planning (DEAP) Tool for Researchers, its role in fostering equity, diversity, inclusion, and Indigenization practices, and how reflection can drive meaningful cultural change across our research communities.

At C2MCI, we are dedicated to advancing the science and technology of carbon to metal coatings. Our mission is to innovate and share cutting-edge research, practical applications, and industry insights to enhance the durability, efficiency, and sustainability of metal surfaces.

We host regular conversations with leading researchers and professionals to raise awareness and learning around equity, diversity, inclusion and Indigeneity in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

Join our community of scientists, engineers, and enthusiasts to stay informed and inspired.
